Seems like Wavescan lose contact with ADE from time to time

[Svenn Are Bjerkem]

Hi,

I just wanted to hear if this is a common problem: When using Wavescan
as waveform viewer for ADE in 5.1.42 and spectre from mmsim 6.1 is the
simulator, it seems that the reload menu item in wavescan does not
have any effect. I am kind of spoiled from awd where I could just
rerun the simulation and then update the waveform to get the new
results. With wavescan it looks like I have to close the waveform
window and then do another series of signal selections. Kind of
irritating.

I believe this is known - can't easily search our databases right now to check
(I'm in a hotel, and trying to get through a lot of catchup this evening, as you
may seen from my mad post-fest). There have
been a number of updates to fix reload problems in recent IC5141 ISRs, so
you might want to check a recent ISR if possible, and if not, file a service
request with Cadence customer support to ensure it gets fixed.

Regards,

Andrew.
