Spectre doc file

Hi,
 I'm new to Spectre . I have one question on Spectre usage. In my simulation run , I want to save a node voltage which is in a  hierarchy way , e.g., v(xtop.xsub.gate,vxtop.xsub.drain) (in hspice ). In spectre , how to do that ? or where can get a doc file about the usage ?

Code:
save xtop.xsub.gate,vxtop.xsub.drain 



You can find information about this in the output from spectre -h save or look in the <instdir>/doc/spectreuser/spectreuser.pdf file - there's a chapter "Control Statements" which covers this. You can also find the same document in cdsdoc.

Regards,

Andrew.

Thank you, Andrew. But I still can not find the syntax for saving the relative voltage for two nodes. As a example , I can use .probe tran v(xtop.xsub.d,xtop.xsub.s) in Hspice. Is there any corresponding statements in Spectre ? Can I say , save xtop.xsub.d,xtop.xsub.s in Spectre ?
Besides , I can not find the syntax for vsource ( pulse , pwl , sine ....etc) in Spectre user manual . Why ?

In Spectre you would save the two nodes independently, and use your plotting tool to subtract them.

Use "spectre -h vsource".
