Specifying Simulation Output
Extract Outputs
If using the .cou format, these .EXTRACT waveforms are created in a separate file with the .ext
extension. The command line switch -couext (eldo -couext -i ) can be used to
merge the extract waveforms into the .cou file, when possible. In this case, a single .cou file will
contain the raw waveforms and also the extraction waveforms.
Tip
See “Output Quantities for Plotting and Printing” in the Eldo Reference Manual.

Extracting Information
Extract Outputs
Extraction results are displayed in the standard output, and written to the ASCII output log file
(.chi). To write results to a separate file two methods are available:
• Specify option AEX.
All extraction data is written to the file circuit_name.aex. Useful for sweep analysis.
• Specify FILE=filename parameter of the .EXTRACT command.
Results of the extract extraction are written to the file filename.

You can view extraction results with the AMS Results Browser.

Extract Functions
There are two types of extraction language: transient and general purpose.
• Transient Extraction Language:
Used in transient analysis, these functions are faster to execute, and consumes less
memory because they perform measurements instantaneously at each time step. They do
not require the signals they use to be stored in memory. The disadvantage is that their
parameters can not use results from other measurements because they can not go back in
time (for example if VH or TCROSS is known at the end).
Transient extraction language is based on the following functions (links open the Eldo
