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 don't think so. I'm just boarding a plane, so I can't check, but awvGetWaveNameList() returns the indices and _names_ of the waveforms. There's no particular reason why the name of the variable should evaluate to the waveform object, which appears to be what you're doing.

    For example, if I plotted signals from the results browser, I just got the signal name. Same would happen with ADE outputs. Doing an evalstring on such a name would most likely lead to a syntax error return 'unbound (off the top of my head, without testing).

    So, nice try, but I still don't think it will work reliably - it may work in a few specific cases though, if you plotted the signals from the calculator, as this tends to give the expression as the name of the waveform.
