SST2 specification

Does a specification exist for SST2 waveform format? We wrote a
visualization tool for visualizing simulation data from our IC design
simulations and want to add SST2.

Thanks!

With SimVision you can (according to sourcelink.cadence.com) convert
it pretty easily:

Chris,

If a VPI compliant verilog simulator that supports sst2 is always part
of the flow where your tool fits, you can use it to read/write your
waveforms.

You can try also the mmsim toolbox for matlab, inheritance from
antrim. I never used it but it could give you at least read access.
Based on hear say:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/comp.cad.cadence/browse_thread/thread/730be0a6fc0b5ca5/f26e3d1830b2edc2

I see little chance that the format taken over from
http://www.designacc.com/ is made free for all soon, but you could get
some agreement with Cadence.

NB: Hi everyone, have a nice merger^H^H^H^H^H^Hsummer

The format is proprietary, so it's not published.

BTW, the MMSIM toolbox was not from Antrim. Antrim had some different capability
to read results into Matlab to do Matlab measures in Aptivia (which became
VSDE). The MMSIM Matlab "spectre toolbox" was developed by the SpectreRF team
using the SRR (Simulation Results Reader) interface that is used in various
tools now to read simulation results in PSF and SST2 formats.

Andrew.

Andrew,

sorry for the misplaced credit: I made an ass-umption of myself
because I don t know this toolbox in practice. And of course kudos to
the spectreRF team. More bridges to Matlab or SPW are I guess (again!)
welcome by many.

Shame about the waveform, let s hope one day it follows in the steps
of gds2, OA or systemC.
