Erik,
Look at "spectre -h expressions" - you'll see that the function name in
spectre for a natural log is log(), not ln(). So it should work if you change
ln to be log.
Similarly C has a math function log() rather than ln(). log() is the builtin
core SKILL function, whereas ln() is a wrapper around log() added
by the Artist group, which also supports waveforms as an argument.
Not sure why it was done like this - buried in the mists of ancient history,
I expect. Usually the standard function name is overloaded in executables
which support Artist to allow waveform objects to be passed to standard
functions.
Regards,
Andrew.

Erik,
I don't think that we should add unnecessary duplicate functions, when the
correct function name (log) is fairly standard - it is the C math library
function name, and the core SKILL function name.
Adding a duplicate adds no value and is one more thing to maintain.
The right thing to do is use the documented spectre function name for
natural log, which is log().
Priorities need to be set for implementing various things, and whilst this
seems trivial, it then needs to be tested, documented, and maintained.
Personally I'd sooner R&D spend their resources on more important things.

Hi Andrew,
Isn't that a bit confusing ? In Verilog-A, which is also handled by
Spectre,
the natural log is ln(), and the decimal log is log() - perfectly
logical !
But I already see the potential confusing when working on both Spectre
and
Verilog-A netlists when doing a mixed-level simulation....

We are running other simulators that use ln(). We need to have the
ability to use the same test bench and just switch the simulator in
artist and verify that we get the same results in all simulators.
This ln() issue is a simple fix and should be done so that our run on
all simulators without issue. I don't think there is a heavy price to
pay for implementation or testing as ln() would just call an existing
function log().
Current situation:
SimulatorA Spectre
ln() log()
log() log10()
SimulatorA has a wrapper function log10() that calls log(). In
addition, analog designers are not usually C programmers so log() for
ln() is not expected and does cause confusion.

Hi,
I think you miss the ivCellType property.
To create it do:
Open the layout of the cell that gives the problem (in your case mux2).
Then press Shift + Q.
Now you see the layout properties.
Look for a property named ivCellType. If it is there, this isn't your
problem and I can't help you further, if it isn't present press the add
button and add a property ivCellType of string named graphic.
Then you have to re-extract and rerun the LVS. it should succeed now.
I had similar problems in the past on some layouts and this always fixed
the problem.

So very many LVS errors are really netlisting errors that have nothing
to do with the LVS program. <sigh>
What you need to do is look at instance +13 in tutorial/mux2/extracted.
Odds are it is a view type that is not auLvs, and the cell does not have
an auLvs view to switch to.
Every cell in your hierarchy must have a view that is in your switch or
stop lists. The switch list (what they refer to as the view name list, I
think) is the views to switch an instance to when it is encountered. The
stop list is the views that are the leaves of the hierarchy as far as
the netlister is concerned. The views in the stop list must have the
information the netlister needs to format the output for the target
netlist.

Usually, setting the netlisting mode to Analog is what causes the stop
list to be auLvs. I think the problem is that there is an instance in
the extracted view for which there is no auLvs view. I have not looked
at the PCell tutorial. It may be that the tutorial creates views that
are not auLvs and netlisting mode needs to be set to Digital.
It's kind of a bitch that the Analog tools need a special netlisting
mode. It can cause a lot of confusion when set wrong.

InstallScape was developed by KTI but is now owned and supported by
Cadence.
The current menu structure reflects the original KTI intent of
InstallScape
as a psuedo browser, but virtually all of that functionality is
unsupported
and unused. The current setup of InstallScape requires using the web
interface
at http://downloads.cadence.com/ to search for and locate Releases to
download
and install Products they contain. You need a Sourcelink login to access
the
web page, and again when InstallScape contacts the fileserver to
download the
Products (kits). The web page provide links to "sdl" files that contain
URLs
pointing to the Release. If your web browser is configured to start
InstallScape
as a helper app when you click on a .sdl file, it will start
InstallScape and
feed the downloaded .sdl file to it, which in turn points InstallScape
to the
Release path in the .sdl file.
The next major release of installscape will better support running in
standalone
mode in addition to its web browser/helper app mode.

InstallScape was developed by KTI but is now owned and supported by
Cadence.
The current menu structure reflects the original KTI intent of
InstallScape
as a psuedo browser, but virtually all of that functionality is
unsupported
and unused. The current setup of InstallScape requires using the web
interface
at http://downloads.cadence.com/ to search for and locate Releases to
download
and install Products they contain. You need a Sourcelink login to access
the
web page, and again when InstallScape contacts the fileserver to
download the
Products (kits). The web page provide links to "sdl" files that contain
URLs
pointing to the Release. If your web browser is configured to start
InstallScape
as a helper app when you click on a .sdl file, it will start
InstallScape and
feed the downloaded .sdl file to it, which in turn points InstallScape
to the
Release path in the .sdl file.
The next major release of installscape will better support running in
standalone
mode in addition to its web browser/helper app mode.

I currently see 2.2p3 available. You mentioned there was a new
version that would be out in a few days (see below). I assume 2.3
will be out Q104 and 2.2p4 will be out any day now?

We're testing a new version installscape that has some proxy fixes. If
all goes well there will be a new version available for download in a

geHiCommonFindMarker() is a little better than Verify/Markers/Find but
it still has all the markers in a single list. Maybe if it were sorted
it would do what he needs.
I think what Jan really wants is something like what Assura has: a list
of the unique marker strings. When you click on a string, you can then
walk through the markers with that string. The drcDisplay.il file that
was posted here some time ago does a fairly nice job of this. I've
included it below.
/*
procedure drcDisplay()
function: to allow Diva drc errors to be processed by type
by: Pat Hyde (cds)
date: 8-24-92
Modified Oct 93 added zoom factor and allowed for imbedded quotes in
rule descriptions
Modified Fed 94 cleaned it up a little before sending it out
Placed under SCCS by Andrew Beckett prior to modifications
SCCS Info: @(#) drcDisplay.il 06/13/02.18:13:14 1.5
Modified Oct 98 Changed internal data structure to be a table, to cope
correctly with large data, and fix a number of bugs.
Could probably benefit from major rewrite.
How to use:
load
execute drcDisplay()
form appears with drc error type found in design
select error type you wish to view by selecting with cursor
hit "NEXT" on form
graphics will zoom into error vector
to view previously viewed error markers hit "PREVIOUS" button on the
form
To delete currently viewed error marker hit "DELETE" button on form
To end session hit "CANCEL" button on form

I think what Jan really wants is something like what Assura has: a list
of the unique marker strings. When you click on a string, you can then
walk through the markers with that string. The drcDisplay.il file that
was posted here some time ago does a fairly nice job of this. I've
included it below.

procedure drcDisplay()
function: to allow Diva drc errors to be processed by type
by: Pat Hyde (cds)
date: 8-24-92
Modified Oct 93 added zoom factor and allowed for imbedded quotes in
rule descriptions
Modified Fed 94 cleaned it up a little before sending it out
Placed under SCCS by Andrew Beckett prior to modifications
SCCS Info: @(#) drcDisplay.il 06/13/02.18:13:14 1.5
Modified Oct 98 Changed internal data structure to be a table, to cope
correctly with large data, and fix a number of bugs.
Could probably benefit from major rewrite.
How to use:
load
execute drcDisplay()
form appears with drc error type found in design
select error type you wish to view by selecting with cursor
hit "NEXT" on form
graphics will zoom into error vector
to view previously viewed error markers hit "PREVIOUS" button on the
form
To delete currently viewed error marker hit "DELETE" button on form
To end session hit "CANCEL" button on form

Hi
Lets do a case study here .. I run a DRC (DIVA) and get the following:
999 Minimum Pad to Via overlap
2 Minimum Metal to Metal spacing
When I start to look for the 2 Metal errors using "Verify -> Markers -
Find" Cadence might choose to start of with the 999 Pad errors .. how the
h*** do I control that list of errors to have cadence show me just the
instances of the error Im interested in?

Erik,
You already can run from the command line - although not sure if you can with
a proxy in the way - Henry can probably comment on that for the future version.

Waiting for some testing results on the proxy changes. The developer has
been saying any day now for a few days, so I'm still hopeful it will
be released Real Soon Now. I'll see what I can do to hurry this along.
The version in Q104 is planned to be 3.0. We've in the middle of a lot
of usability validation on a new "wizard" style interface and other
fixes
and enhancements that will make it easier to run installscape
"standalone"
instead of tied to the web browser as its "search engine", and in
general
make it easier to understand how to use installscape.
Henry.
We're testing a new version installscape that has some proxy fixes. If
all goes well there will be a new version available for download in a
few days.

InstallScape was developed by KTI but is now owned and supported by
Cadence.
The current menu structure reflects the original KTI intent of
InstallScape
as a psuedo browser, but virtually all of that functionality is
unsupported
and unused. The current setup of InstallScape requires using the web
interface
at http://downloads.cadence.com/ to search for and locate Releases to
download
and install Products they contain. You need a Sourcelink login to access
the
web page, and again when InstallScape contacts the fileserver to
download the
Products (kits). The web page provide links to "sdl" files that contain
URLs
pointing to the Release. If your web browser is configured to start
InstallScape
as a helper app when you click on a .sdl file, it will start
InstallScape and
feed the downloaded .sdl file to it, which in turn points InstallScape
to the
Release path in the .sdl file.
The next major release of installscape will better support running in
standalone
mode in addition to its web browser/helper app mode.
