[SI-LIST] Spice measurements

Hi,
I am trying to get the absolute value of the current for my power
calculations, and unfortunately, the Spice documentation hasn't been too
helpful.

I have the following expressions in my deck.

In the first trial, I had:
.plot tran abs_ivdd PAR(ABS(i(vdd)))
.measure tran intgrl_ivss INTEGRAL(abs_ivdd) FROM= 1ns TO= 5ns

As an alternative, I tried:
.measure tran intgrl_ivdd INTEGRAL('ABS(i(vdd))') FROM= 1ns TO= 5ns

I've tinkered with the expressions a few more times using PARAM=' expr', and
only this expression has been given me a non-zero (negative) value:
.measure tran intgrl_ivdd INTEGRAL(i(vdd)) FROM= 1ns TO= 5ns

I know I could use Awaves or some waveform viewer to calculate the vdd power
but I'd like to have the results in the *.mt0 file.

I appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Adrianna
