Ocean script and bindkeys

PSGcad

Hi,

 I have set a few bindkeys in my .cdsinit for schematics and Wavescan and that works well. Problem is when I run my ocean scripts from a shell (not from icfb) it doesn't seem to read the .cdsinit and therefore my bindkeys aren't working when I look at my simulation results in Wavescan.

How can I put those bindkeys in the ocean script itself? Or maybe I could load a bindkeys file as part of the ocean script ... how do I do that?

Thanks.

    Patrice,

    The "ocean" executable reads a file ".oceanrc" rather than ".cdsinit" - so you could use that.

     Hi Andrew,

     Thanks for the tip, it works like a charm if I want general bindkeys, but what if I want to have specific bindkeys for specific ocean scripts? (For instance if I want the key "1" to zoom-in on the X-axis from 0 to 1ms and on another script I want that to be 0 to 100ms). Obviously I could assign another key to that second X-axis range but is it possible to keep the same one?

    Thanks,

    Patrice,

    Of course, you can put specific bindkey definitions in each OCEAN script. OCEAN is just SKILL, after all. I just thought you might be really wanting to have a common set without needing to update every script.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

     Hi Andrew,

     I am very new to the OCEAN environment.

    I have my cdsinit file which contains pathnames to specific BindKeys files. I can use this when i launch icms, however, just for curiosity I saved the ocean script and ran the same sim through ocean and it ran well but my bindkeys were not active.

    On further investigation realised that ocean initializes with .oceanrc and not .cdsinit, so i added a 

    load(/~/.cdsinit) to my .oceanrc and ran the sim again and I still wasnt able to run the bindkeys in my waveform editor... wondering what the issue is..

     Thanks

    Did you omit the quotation marks? (i.e. you'd need to do load("~/.cdsinit") not what you typed) .

    Which version are you using?

    Andrew.

     I have the quotation marks...IC 5.1

    Nihar,

    Can you put this in your .oceanrc and see what it shows when you start "ocean":

    printf("before load\n")
    loadi("~/.cdsinit")
    printf("after load\n")

    Andrew
