spectre runObj ROF file

[Jos]

Hello,

we are runnig spectre stand-alone from the command-line, but in some
events we want to use the Analog Environment to view certain results
(e.g. dc-backannotation, ...). This requires that the simulation
results contain the ROF file (runObj), which is not generated when you
use spectre from the command-line

I know that the ROF file can be create from the results browser by
using the middle mouse button.
But is there also a more general way such as a skill-function, or
perhaps a certain options for spectre which will generate this file?

thanks for any feedback!
Jos

Jos,

It's a file needed by the old waveform tool. wavescan doesn't need it. So
it's not generate by spectre, but the ADE integration code.

It's generated if you use the OCEAN function openResults("/path/to/results/dir")
(I think). Certainly if OCEAN is used to post-process results, you don't need to
manually create it, so I suspect it's openResults() that does this. It's like
doing a Results->Select in ADE.

Regards,

Andrew.

It looks like the function to create the runObjFile is
_adeCreateROF("datadirectory").

example:
_adeCreateROF("/home/me/simulation/xx/spectre/schematic/psf")

But this is a private (internal) function, and liable to change/removal. I'd
advise against using it.
