.MEASURE usage in HSPICE for find the max value

[Goldeneagle]

Hi,

How do i measure the max value among a set of values say from n1 to n10... where n1 to n10 are the timing delays measured using a different measure statements..

like..

.mea tr n1 trig .... targ...
.mea tr n2 trig .... targ...
.mea tr n3 trig .... targ...
.mea tr n4 trig .... targ...
.mea tr n5 trig .... targ...

bcoz the following is not working...
.mea tr max_value PARAM='max(n1, n2, n3, n4, n5)'

is giving me an error..

Thanks in Advance..

Include the error. Is it "too many arguments in function call" ?

you can not include more than two arguments in max() function.
you can write your netlist more wisely

for 3 arguments for example:

.measure tran max1 param='max(n1,n2)'
.measure tran max2 param='max(max1,n3)'

and "max2" is the maximum value of "n1,n2.n3"

Yes.. as of now i hav taken that approach...
but i hav 2 sets of 12 variables each.. !! so its quite a clumsy deal !!
