Dear Cadence Experts:
I have two questions regarding Tests/Expressions/Plotting in ADE-XL.
I am using ADE-XL from virtuoso version IC6.1.7-64b.500.14. In my test bench I have a number of tests each dealing with a different transistor. The test names distinguish between the tests/transistors. Hence, I am NOT using different names for expressions. I use the same expression name (which possibly refers to other expression names). For example I have test_tr1 and test_tr2 and both have expressions like noise_corner or noise_ids.
My questions are as below:
1) If an expression form a test (say noise_corner from test_tr1) refers to another expression (say noise_ids), which noise_ids (from which test) will be used? I want obviously noise_ids from test_tr1 to be used in noise_corner from test_tr1 and noise_ids from test_tr2 to be used in noise_corner from test_tr2. Is ADE-XL smart enough to do proper selection of expressions with same name under different test names?
2) If answer to 1) is Yes, why is that when I click on noise_corner and plot it, I don't see test_names in the legend? I see noise_corner for different tests but the viva plot window does not show test names. So it is not possible to know which point is coming from which tests. I tried also to use test names as an axis but it is just not available.
Thanks in advance for your answer/clarification.
Br,
