where = 1, 2, 3, and so on. When the -statfile argument is specified, the date and time are
not appended to the output filename.
Example with the extract_overshoot_opamp.cir netlist delivered in the examples tree:
eldo -stat -statfile extract_overshoot_opamp.stat -statfsize 1
extract_overshoot_opamp.cir
Seven files (extract_overshoot_opamp.stat and extract_overshoot_opamp.stat.) will be
generated, where n is 1 through 6, each with a maximum size of 1kB.
Statistics File Options
To change the number of items to be listed in each of the Simulation sections of the statistics file
use .OPTION SPNNB=val. The default is 10. For example, .OPTION SPNNB=12 means every
list under “Simulation: Rejection node list” is limited to the “top 12” items.
To control the percentage threshold of the contributions from subcircuit instances, use
.OPTION SPNRAT=val. The default is 0.7 (70%), and the range is between 0 and 1.
Tip
See also “Eldo Arguments” in the Eldo Reference Manual.

Invoking Eldo
Running Eldo Interactive Mode
Eldo interactive mode is a way of invoking Eldo and executing commands interactively instead
of providing the commands in a netlist. Some other AMS tools, such as ICanalyst, transparently
make use of Eldo in interactive mode. Eldo interactive mode is not supported by Questa ADMS.
Procedure
1. To invoke Eldo interactive mode, type:
eldo cir_filename -inter
where cir_filename is the name of the .cir netlist file to be simulated. Default extension
is .cir.
When working in Eldo interactive mode, a prompt is displayed in your terminal
window:
eldo>
2. When working in Eldo interactive mode, type your command after the eldo> prompt.
For continuation lines, type the backslash character (\) at the end of a line.
