Displaying Eldo Simulation Data in EZwave
The Eldo simulator outputs waveform data that can be displayed by EZwave.

Run Eldo With EZwave
In this scenario, the Eldo simulator runs a complete simulation and outputs the data in JWDB
format to be directly viewed by EZwave.
Procedure
1. You can use one of the following methods:
• Invoke Eldo simulator from the command line as in the following example:
eldo test.cir -ezwave &
This command invokes the Eldo simulator and directs it to run a complete simulation
and output the data to a file.
The simulator regularly saves incremental data to the disk (by default, each 100Mbs
of data). This enables you to run very large simulations without consuming too much
memory.
• Use the -noisaving argument to disable incremental saves inside the Eldo simulator.
• Use a pre-defined configuration:
eldo test.cir -ezwave -wdb_config config.swd &
2. The simulator requests that EZwave display waveforms as defined in the config.swd file
(this is an EZwave Save Window file) instead of the .PLOT statements defined in the
netlist test.cir. If some post-processed waveforms were stored through config.swd, they
will be automatically re-computed with new simulation data.
3. When the simulation is completed, the simulator exits and EZwave remains until you
exit the program.
