Histogram Plot in Cadence's Post Processing Environment

We can plot a histogram in Cadence's Post Processing Environment based on Wavescan in ADE for results of Monte-Carlo Analysis.


However I don't know any function to plot histogram for general analysis data in Cadence's Post Processing Environment.
Ocean function, "histogram()" in Cadence's ADE is limited to results of Monte-Carlo Analysis.

On the other hand, we can easily plot histogram for any analysis data in other vendor's post processing environment.
Usually I use following three methods.

(1) we can easily plot histogram for any analysis data in Agilent's ADS post processing environment.

The Designer's Guide Community Forum - Size Dependent Mismatch Variation's Description don't work in Agilent RFDE2006U3

(2) Also we can easily plot histogram for any analysis data in Synopsys's "Custom Waveview".
See attached figure.
This is a noise voltage by transient noise analysis of Cadence Spectre.
Horizontal axis is time and Vertical axis is amplitude in upper figure.
Lower figure is a histogram.

(3) As another option, we can plot histogram by Mathworks MATLAB.


In (2) and (3), we can use Cadence's "psf" data directly.


How do you plot histogram for general analysis data in Cadence's Post Processing Environment ?

Do I have to create custom skill function to build histogram from general analysis data ?

I've created custom skill function, "my_histogram()" which have completely same function as "histogram()" in Agilent's ADS post processing environment.

Dear Sir,
I need to plot a histogram in cadence for monte carlo, too. please help me

Simply, use "ADE>Tools>Monte Carlo".
In Cadence ADE, you can plot histogram for only Monte Carlo without any special labor.

I use this method, but i just have some waves, finally. I need the your left picture. The parameters that i do monte carlo is a wave (S21) and the simulator get me some of figures.

Show me a hard copy of your setting of "ADE>Tools>Monte Carlo".

Hi,
I am looking for something like this where I have the transient data with noise from several runs. The waveform switches from positive to negative and the built in histogram does not impose x or y-limits (it looks at the entire waveform). It sounds like you can impose limits with your function, I think ADS can. The natural question is how to get this function and how to run it. Thank you for posting this.

I wrote my own code by skill language to realize same function as Agilent ADS's histogram().

However, if you use ViVa as post processing in Cadence ADE, prepared function can be available.
