Tanner S-Edit, T-Spice, W-Edit, L-Edit and TCL Tips and Tricks

Probably the single best thing you can do to improve the quality of life. Sadly, the UI hasn't improved one iota since 2016 😢 Edit > Find. Then, Operate on the Selection (use the drop down). Else, your life is more complicated - you choose View and then tell it how to filter stuff out. For now, suppose we've selected a bunch of netlabels and want to change <*50>whatever to <*100>whatever (where in the world would you use something like this?) In the Script field : set string [property get -name Name -system] regsub -all {\*50} $string {\*100} string property set Name -system -value $string Now, how in the world are you supposed to know that? Search me. Any surprise that Cadence is the top EDA dog?

Things you may wish to look into, to boost your productivity: The Find Navigator dtos and stod to moved between scientific and other notation CSHUNT is the equivalent of spectre's CMIN lvltim=3 and poweruplen might be convergence aids to try out

With Cadence Virtuoso, If you use CTRL-ALT-1 after install the needful , you get the key pieces in your CIW. What can you do with Tanner (Now Siemens Custom IC)? Simple Get these: https://github.com/ananthchellappa/TannerTCL/blob/main/sed_helpers.tcl https://github.com/ananthchellappa/TannerTCL/blob/main/mos_op_summary.tcl https://github.com/ananthchellappa/TannerTCL/blob/main/summarize_opinfo_pretty.tcl And, ensure your setup loads: workspace menu -name {CUSTOM {Simulations} {OP Info Summary} }  -command {puts [mos_op_summary_for_selected]} workspace bindkeys -command {OP Info Summary} -key "Ctrl+Alt+1" That's it :)

That's right - if you DON'T save all (pick the dropdown for true in the Spice options for saving voltages or currents) the cross-probing doesn't work out of the box. But, given how expensive saving all IS, what you can do is, copy the .tsub file from a run that DID save all to your just completed run before going to "View Waveforms" from T-Spice to launch the Waveform Viewer.
