Large Scale DSO Job outputs
A large scale DSO analysis does not support the output of full parametric results. Instead, it extracts “subset” results using predefined rectangular plots, which you must create before the job is run. The extracted columns of data are saved as CSV files. Typically, there is one CSV file per trace, per variation. Non-rectangular plots of the design (digital plots, for example) are not extracted. The outputs can be either imported as datasets for post-processing in the desktop also as function of parametric variations, or used directly in downstream applications (for example, Excel, or custom programs that parse .csv files).
CSV File contents
The initial header rows of CSV files define the solved variation. For each such row, the first column has the variable name and the second column has the variable value. The row following variation rows has the name of primary sweep and the names of extracted quantities. Subsequent rows contain 'data' - quantity values as a function of primary sweep.
