Hello,hxnrvcpa

I actually use EZWave to view the waves results of my simulation (with eldo). But I don't like this viewer : it doesn't support very big file, there are a lot of bugs and the script possibilities are too low (or bad documented).hxnrvcpa

1 btcdtc sandwork is now part of synopsys, so maybe the eldo support will be dropped... 2008/8/28 00:06
2 zunwang Hi,



I have used a lot EZwave and Sandworks viewers, and I really prefer EZwave.

Although, each viewer has its strong points.



Which version of EZwave do you use ? And what is the typical size of your databases.

Can you tell me too how many waves you have in you database?

By my side, I have databases up to "5-6Gb and it works well.

I noticed also that this viewer was greatly enhanced over last versions. (My current version is 2007.1)



Another advise :

Do you launch Eldo in batch mode and then open the wdb during the simulation with EZwave ? In this case, it is very useful for monitoring but not very fast.

You should start Eldo directly with EZwave (option -ezwave), or open the database later when the simulation is finished.

4 lassa Hi,



The size of my files is between 5GB to 40GB. I don't have more than 20-30 wave in my database.

I always open the database when my simulation is finished.

The version I used is quite old : AMS2004.3.



Some few bugs I met :

- ezwave crash quite often

- the waves are not always correctly displayed (specially when I zoom on the wave)

- the X and Y axis are sometimes not correctly set (view all function)



And there is no scripting possibility that can automatize some tasks

5 booksir I complain also about windows3.1 capabilities

You should definitely use a newer version.

Speed and capacity are far better, and there is Tcl scripting now.

6 wy830115 ok, I will try a newer version of EZWave.



That is mean that anybody have found a better viewer than EZWave ?

8 fujun2013 I used Sandwork Waveview and Cadence Wavescan. Waveview is worth a try. This is my favorite waveform viewer. 2008/8/28 00:06
