log all notices (about limit violations) in spectre tran-Sim

[Norman]

Hello,

When I do a transient-Simulation with spectre I get notices from spectre
in the log-File when certain limits in some devices are violated.

for example:


Notice from spectre at time = 21 ps during transient analysis `tran'.
I0.I0.I15.I4.I0.I5.I1.N0: Device leaves the gate-drain oxide breakdown
region.


Unfortunately after a number of occurrences of the same violation the
notice will be surpressed by the simulator and the message

Further occurrences of this notice will be suppressed.

appear in the log file.

I am working on a VCO with an Automatic-Amplitude-Control (AAC) and it
is normal that in the beginning of the oscillation process some devices
leave their operation limits for a short while.

I want to see the notices with the warnings when steady oscillation is
achieved.

Is their a possibility to tell spectre to log all warnings and to
prevent surpression of any notice?

(the +log =log option does not chance the behaviour)


Thanks for any suggestion


Best Regard

I have not tried this so far, but if you
type 'spectre -help' in your working terminal
you get the info about.

-maxwarns N Maximum number of times a particular type of warning message will
be issued per analysis. You may use `-maxw' as an abbreviation of `-
maxwarns'.
-maxnotes N Maximum number of times a particular type of notice message will
be issued per analysis. You may use `-maxn' as an abbreviation of `-
maxnotes'.
-maxwarnstolog N
Maximum number of times a particular type of warning message
will be printed to log file per analysis. You may use `-maxwtl' as an
abbreviation of `-maxwarnstolog'.
-maxnotestolog N
Maximum number of times a particular type of notice message
will be printed to log file per analysis. You may use `-maxntl' as an abbreviation
of `-maxnotestolog'.
