Re: calculating a config word during operating point analysis

Svenn,

Sorry about the tardiness of my reply - I've been all over the place recently
and have had difficulty giving comp.cad.cadence my normal level of attention.

The "static" is run at the beginning of any analysis. However, it may be if you
do a transient with a readic="filename", and a skipdc=yes, and you don't have
a DC analysis enabled somewhere else, it may not happen - I don't know for
certain.

Unfortunately I don't know for certain - I'd have to try it, and even then I'm
not sure I'd rely upon it!

Regards,

Andrew.
