Generic Outputs
default, temporary files are created in the same directory defined by the -outpath argument. If
neither -tmpoutpath nor -outpath are specified, temporary files are created in the same directory
as the .cir input file.
To remove the .res directory at the end of simulation, specify command line argument
-premier_remove_reslib or netlist option PREMIER_REMOVE_RESLIB.

Generic Outputs
The syntax for probes, plots and extracts allows the user to write generic output requests, that
are expanded by the simulator to a set of outputs. For example:
.PROBE V
.PROBE I
.PROBE V(X1.*)
For performance reasons, it is not guaranteed that all outputs are available for such generic
output requests. When generic outputs are requested, some outputs may be missing (see
.removed for a listing) and the following warning message is displayed:
Warning 1021249: Due to elaboration optimizations, some outputs may not be
+ available.
+ This is related to the use of generic probes such as .PROBE V, .PROBE I
+ or the wildcard character.
+ The list of removed outputs is written to file ``.removed''.
+ Explicit probe can be used to enforce the availability of an output
+ voltage or current.
+ Option premier_keep_outputs can also be used to enforce the availability
+ of all outputs. However, this option may significantly slow down the
+ simulation.
You can specify explicit probes instead, as required. For backward compatibility, if you want to
generate all outputs, specify option PREMIER_KEEP_OUTPUTS. This may significantly slow
down the simulation, in which case a warning is displayed:
Warning 1021250: Option premier_keep_outputs may significantly slow down
+ the simulation.
+ It is recommended to use explicit probes instead of it, and as few
+ explicit probes as really needed.
