create windows in ADEXL through ocean script

Joe Black

 Hi,

 I have an ocean script file added into the output setup in ADEXL. It works fine (e.g. collect data, save data into a file), but at the end of the ocean scrip, I tried to create a window to plot some waveforms (which were already saved into the output file). The problem is

1. the window never showed up

2. although the simulaiton is done (I can read the spectre.out to confirm) and the first part of the ocean script is run through (I can find the saved data file), the status always shows "running "

 I use newWindow() to create windows.

I am using ic615.isr12.

 Thanks,

ps. my script is sort of like this

filename = "myPath"

 selectResults('tran)

abc = VT("/abc")

ocnPrint(?output filename abc....)

newWindow()

plot(abc)

 Joe

    The OCEAN scripts are evaluated in the background "ICRP" processes (which may run on the local machine or on a remote machine depending on your set up). The idea is that ADE XL can parallelize the netlisting, simulation, and post-processing.

    Because the background processes are run in "-nograph" mode, any plot() calls you make will display a window invisibly.

    If instead you use the axlAddOutputs() call on the first line of your script to state what outputs your script will produce, and then use axlOutputResult() to output each result, you will get additional (derived) outputs appearing in the ADE XL output pane, and you can then plot these after the simulations have finished.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
