Output - N-Coupled Line Model File

Selecting Output - N-Coupled Line Model File from the main menu of the response viewer opens the Output N-Coupled Line Model dialog box which allows you to extract a N-Coupled Line Spice Model from your project. The file is in the Spectre format. If the project included a parameter sweep, you are also able to select a parameter combination.

You may also set up an external data file to be generated during the analysis by using the Output Files page of the Circuit Settings dialog box in the project editor tab.

Format: You may output your N-Coupled Spice model in one of two formats: Spectre (.dat) or HSPICE (.hsp). Select the desired format from this drop list.

De-embedded: This allows you to select de-embedded or non-de-embedded data. Select "Yes" for de-embedded data and "No" for non-de-embedded data.
