Programmatically set y-axis in VIVA in Log Scale

Paolo Minotti

Hi there,

I want to plot the input referred noise of an instance.


I enter in the Calculator / ADE Outputs

getData("in" ?result "noise")


By default, y-axis, that is expressed in V/rt(Hz), is in linear scale. It would be much more interesting and intuitive to have it visualized in log scale.

Of course, one can right-click on the y-axis label, and select "Log Scale".

Is there a way to to this programmatically?

In particular, I would like not to use any SKILL function, I would like to just change the expression in the Calculator / ADE Outputs.

Thank you!

Paolo

    Dear Andrew,
    thank you for your reply.

    Actually, the axis I want to be displayed in log scale is y-axis (not x).
    I tried to adapt your solution, using
    let(((in getData("in" ?result "noise"))) in~>yScale='log in)
    but it does not work, i still have input-referred noise PSD plotted in linear scale.
