Display of schematic name and page number on the symbol

mk123

 Hi,

 I ported a design from 6.1 to 5.1.41. The symbols in 6.1 have the following statements which are supposed to display schematic name and page number when the symbol is instantiated. 

dsp('sheetIndex)

dsp('page)

 In the ported design, after instantiation, I get  the following,

*Error* eval: undefined funtion

 Do I need to load a specific file for this function to work? Is this only for 6.1 specific?

 Thanks,

Mandar

  • Hi Mandar,

    presumably the function "dsp" is defined in the IC61x environment
    but not in your IC5141 environment. It is most likely defined in
    a SKILL file (*.il) and loaded during initialisation of the tools.
    You should be able to load this file in the IC5141 environment,
    but there are SKILL changes between the IC5141 and IC61x releases,
    so the code may not be fully compatible (although approx. 95% of
    the SKILL code is not changed between these releases).

    Hope this answers your question.

    Lawrence.
