Course Description
For classroom delivery, this course is taught as a half-day session (4 hours).
This course is part of the Spectre® Simulator Fundamentals series. In this course, you use the Spectre Circuit Simulator Measurement Description Language (MDL), a productivity-enhancing tool for simulation and data analysis. Using alias measurement, a Measurement Description Language (MDL) procedure, you can run an analysis and extract information about the performance of the circuit.
You examine how MDL acts as a controller interacting with a variety of inputs, outputs, and tools. You also learn to create MDL measurements and reuse them, and finally, run Spectre MDL in standalone and batch modes and observe the measured values in the *.measure output file. You also examine how to use an MDL file within the ADE Explorer environment.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Use the Spectre Circuit Simulator Measurement Description Language (MDL) to create a measurement alias
- Interact with a variety of inputs, outputs, and tools using MDL
- Identify the contents of a Spectre MDL file
- Define and use a measurement alias for common measurements in Spectre
- Construct Spectre MDL expressions using its data types, operators, and built-in functions
- Evaluate MDL expressions using looping and control statements
- Set up and run Spectre MDL in standalone and batch modes
- Use the wildcard (\*) in the MDL control file for mapping all signals
- Postprocess MDL measurements
- Use an MDL file within the ADE Explorer environment
