Virtuoso AMS Environment User Guide
Variables for ams.env Files
scstats
Prints analysis statistics.
Syntax
amsDirect.simcntl scstats boolean t | nil
Values |
|
t |
The simulator prints analysis statistics. |
nil |
The simulator does not print analysis statistics. This is the |
|
default. |
Description
This variable determines the value assigned to the tran stats option in a generated simulation control file.
Example
You set the variable
amsDirect.simcntl |
scstats boolean t |
In response, the generated simulation control file contains
amsAnalysis tran
+stop = 0.003
+stats = yes

Virtuoso AMS Environment User Guide
Variables for ams.env Files
scstep
Specifies the minimum time step to use.
Syntax
amsDirect.simcntl scstep string "minstep"
Values
minstep |
The minimum time step to use. |
Description
This variable determines the value assigned to the tran step option in a generated simulation control file. You might need to set this value to maintain the aesthetics of computed waveforms.
Example
You set the variable
amsDirect.simcntl |
scstep string ".00001" |
In response, the generated simulation control file contains
amsAnalysis tran
+stop = 0.003
+step = .00001

Virtuoso AMS Environment User Guide
Variables for ams.env Files
scstop
Specifies the stop time for the analysis.
Syntax
amsDirect.simcntl scstop string "stop_time"
Values
stop_time |
The stop time. |
Description
This variable determines the value assigned to the stop option in a generated simulation control file.
Example
You set the variable
amsDirect.simcntl |
scstop string "0.003" |
In response, the generated simulation control file contains
amsAnalysis tran + stop = 0.003

Virtuoso AMS Environment User Guide
Variables for ams.env Files
scstrobedelay
Specifies an offset time relative to the time specified byscskipstart.
Syntax
amsDirect.simcntl scstrobedelay string "offset_time"
Values
offset_time |
The offset time. |
Description
This variable determines the value assigned to the tran strobedelay option in a generated simulation control file.
Example
You set the variable
amsDirect.simcntl |
scstrobedelay |
string "0.00001" |
In response, the generated simulation control file contains
amsAnalysis tran
+stop = 0.003
+strobedelay = 0.00001
