spect2el Command Reference
The save statement is converted into .PLOT.
2
The save statement is converted into .PROBE.
• -css 1|0
Convert all or just the selected sections of your library. Set to 0 to convert all sections. Set to
1 (default) to convert only selected sections. If a file is included in an unselected section,
then this file is ignored even if it does not exist in the path of the include statement. When
css=1, a missing file error is only generated if the file is called, otherwise a warning is
printed in spect2el.log.
• -case 1|0
Set to 1 for the converter to be case-sensitive for all names (nodes, devices instances,
models, subcircuit definitions and instances). Default is 0 (not set) which means that the
converter is case-insensitive.
• -p dir | -searchpath dir
Specifies a directory where include files are located. If any included file from inside the
netlist is not found, the converter looks for it in the location specified by ref_dir. If ref_dir is
not a full path, it is generated relative to in_dir. Default is in_dir. See the usage examples.
• -h
Display the tool usage.
• -v
Display the Spectre to Eldo version, release, and build date.
Description
If errors occur, a file named spect2el.error is generated clearly describing the errors.
All the above arguments are optional except for -in_dir.
Examples
The following is an example of converting a design including the library:
spect2el -in_dir . -out_dir ./out -file_list netlist.scs -sp_plot 2
The following is an example of converting a library:
spect2el -in_dir . -out_dir ./out -file_list allModels.scs -scs2lib 1
In both cases, the output directory out is created if it does not already exist. A directory named
external_files is created in the directory out for converted .LIB/.INCLUDE files.
The following shows an example of specifying a directory for the location of include files:
