A config view allows you to use different views for different cells during netlisting. When ADE netlist a schematic directly, every instance has to be netlisted according to the viewList and stopList values which have been specified. When netlisting through a config view, users can set different views for different instances. E.g. a schematic contains 3 cells A, B and C. In the config view, we can set cellA to use verilog view, cellB to use schematic view and cellC to use an extracted view. This gives great flexibility in doing simulations.
Here is how you can create a config view: a. In library mananger, go to "File->New->CellView" b. Select "config" type. The application will be automatically set to "Hierarchy Editor" c. A "New Configuration" form. appears. Set the "View" to schematic and press "Use Template" button d. A form. appears. Select "Spectre" template and press OK twice to close both forms. e. The config view creation is completed. You can now use it to set different views for the different cells.
