Setting the powerunit in xpwr (Xpower Analyzer)

Hello,

 

I am using the command line tool "xpwr" to estimate power for my designs. I always used a small tcl-file for setting the prefixes of the units which xpwr uses in the reports. The tcl-file looks like this:

setPowerUnit nW
setCurrentUnit nA

 

This always worked but in newer ISE-Versions this leads to big problems. When using these options xpwr presents the report nW and nA but the numbers do not change. This means that (when the option is not used) the design uses 2350.6 mW and when the option is used it needs 2350.6 nW.

 

Is this bug known? Is there another way to get the report in nW and is it planned to fix this bug?

 

Thank you,

Axel
