Setting Design Variables from one string

Ray1987

Hello Team,

I would like to set multiple (but common) design variables through one string easily.

For example,

I have plurality of binary Des.Vars TRIM10, TRIM9, TRIM8 ... TRIM0. I wanna  set them by expression like this: 

nth(10 reverse(parseString( desVar("TRIM_10_0") ""))) 

For altering them altogether by modification just one variable - TRIM_10_0 (e.g. b0001010000).

But unfortunately I cannot do this trough ADE GUI due to this expression is passed to simulator "as is", but is not evaluated.

Another solution is

1. to "Save Ocean Script"

2. delete extra quotas in desVar section 

from desVar(  "TRIM4" "nth(4 reverse(parseString( desVar(\"TRIM_4_0\") \"\")))" )

to desVar(  "TRIM4" nth(4 reverse(parseString( desVar(\"TRIM_4_0\") \"\"))) )

etc...

3. load script manually.

But I don't like this solution. Too many manual action is required.

Is there any possibility to pass evaluated design variables to simulator by using ADE GUI.

Thank you in advance.

  • The trick is to put quotation marks around your bus value - this is needed so that ADE XL sees the value as a string rather than a numerical value (referencing another variable). As you can see from the above, this worked fine for me - I put together a simple example using voltage sources set by D0, D1, D2 etc and then measured the voltage on the output of the source for my measured outputs.

    I thought I might have to use atoi() on the result of the nth() but it wasn't needed.

    Regards,
