Use expression from one test as design variable in another test

Hi,

I've been working on this issue for quite a while now and can't make it work:

I have testA that generates a calibration value which i use in testB as an input design variable. I dragged and dropped the expression from the outputs setup window to the desired design variable in the data view, so calcVal is used. I've tried everything that is in the "Known Problems" sheet and could even remotly be related to this issue (using another variable that contains the expression as value for the actual calibration variable, using VAR("..."), recreating the corner etc). I always get the message: ERROR (SFE-1996): "input.scs" 8: parameter `calib0': Unknown parameter name `nil' found in expression. The tests work fine if I replace the expression in the design variable by an arbitrary value.

What else can I do? Any ideas?

I'm using GXL and IC6.1.5.

Thanks

Franzi

    I found the problem. I had to set "Spec" of the outputs that I want to reuse to "info". I had it empty before.
