Viewing Simulation Results

Introduction

Wireless test bench simulation results can be viewed in a data display window. A dataset is generated for each simulation with configurations and data display template information in which to view results. For automatic plotting , a data display window automatically opens showing the results. For distributed simulation , data display options are provided for viewing plot outputs. The following sections provide information on viewing automatic plotting and distributed simulation results.
For more details regarding using the data display, see the Data Display documentation.

Automatic Plotting

A Data Display/autoplot data display window contains pages that are set up for every measurement enabled in the Wireless Test Bench Setup form.
To enable automatic plotting of results at the end of a simulation:

1. In the Analog Design Environment window, select Results > Data Display Options .
2. In the Data Display Options window, enable the options Open Data Display After Simulation and Enable Automatic Plotting of Outputs .
   To perform automatic plotting of a simulation dataset collected earlier:

1. In the Analog Design Environment window, select Results > Data Display Options .
2. In the Data Display Options window, for the option Dataset Used for Automatic Plotting , choose Use most recent dataset , or Prompt for dataset .
3. In the Analog Design Environment window, select Results > Plot Outputs .
   If the Analog Design Environment window is opened for a given DUT and the simulation directory is same as the directory used earlier when a successful WTB simulation dataset was generated, then you can see the results without re-running the simulation.

Distributed Simulation

Wireless test bench models can be used in a distributed simulation with a different model for each simulation, or the same model can be used having different measurements for each simulation. A dataset is generated for each simulation with configurations and data display template information in which to view results (a data display window does not open automatically).
To plot the most recent generated dataset:

1. In the Analog Design Environment window, select Results > Data Display Options .
2. In the Data Display Options window, for the option Dataset Used for Automatic Plotting , choose Use most recent dataset (the default setting).
3. In the Analog Design Environment window, select Results > Plot Outputs .
   To select a specific dataset for plotting:

1. In the Analog Design Environment window, select Results > Data Display Options .
2. In the Data Display Options window, for the option Dataset Used for Automatic Plotting , choose Prompt for dataset .
3. In the Analog Design Environment window, select Results > Plot Outputs . The Prompt for Dataset window opens containing the list of datasets generated from a given Analog Design Environment session. The datasets in the list can include the results of distributed and individual simulations.
4. Select a dataset to use for automatic plotting, and click OK . The selected dataset will contain the data display template names that must be used for automatic plotting. Each different dataset selection will update the final automatic plot window.
