wavescan waveforms -> CIW?

markbeck

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to create a key-binding that could be used to dump a group of wavescan waveforms to the CIW.  I know that it's possible to dump waveforms to the calculator, but I've got a bunch of custom skill code routines that work best in the CIW.  

This is for the times that I've copied around waveforms between wavescan windows and I want to do some calulations on them (without having to resort to the calculator).

Optimally, this function would return a list of waveforms to the CIW.  

 I've looked through the awv finder functions, but I can't find anything like this.  It's almost as though wavescan was designed to be one-way only.

  •  I realize I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I haven't found a solution to this.

    I'm now on version 6.14, but the situation hasn't improved.  

    Basic problem is that I've got a waveform plotted in a waveform viewer (e.g. viva)  and I want access to it in the CIW.  It is possible to copy the waveform from viva to the calculator, so I know that the data exists somewhere. However, how can I reliably get at the data through skill calls?

    awvGetWaveNameList() returns: list of numbers for the curves and list of corresponding names.

    Unfortunately, I've found that the returned list of numbers doesn't correspond to anything that I can use to grab that waveform.

     Has anything changed with the newer versions of Cadence or is there any planned future expansion to allow access to the waveforms?

    Thanks,
