Output Format of Circuit Checks

The default output format of all circuit checks is XML. Therefore, the output files have an extension .xml and are present in the raw directory.

You can use the check_format parameter with the options statement to convert the XML files to a text format, as shown below.

opt options check_format=text (Spectre format)

.option check_format=text (SPICE format)

After the conversion, the converted files in the text format have an extension .rpt and are present in the raw directory. The prefix of these files is the same as the prefix of the XML files.

The check_format parameter can be assigned one of the following possible values:

• xml: Saves the output in the xml and sqldb formats
• text: Saves the output in the text and sqldb formats
• csv: Saves the output in the csv and sqldb formats
• sql: Saves the output in the sqldb format
• all: Saves the output in all above-mentioned formats
