When does opening an ADE-XL view cause also ViVa to open?

Hello all,

this is just a curiosity, but it has been tormenting for a while.

Sometimes, when a colleague of mine opens an ADE-XL view, ViVa also opens, showing the last waves that were plotted.

Sometimes, this does not happen.

On my workstation, this happens much rarely and I have been not able to reproduce this or find a root cause.

My colleagues would like ViVa to _never_ open when they open an ADE-XL view.

Which settings control this behaviour?

Thank you and best regards,

Patrik

    Patrik,

    I think this is caused by importing an ADE L state into ADE XL which has the "waveform setup" included. I thought I'd filed a CCR to get this ignored previously, but I still see it happen now and again.

    If you uncheck the "Waveform Setup" checkbox when importing an ADE L state into ADE XL, then I think it goes away.

    Either way, it's probably worth contacting customer support about because I agree this would be annoying...

    I just did a search and found that I'd filed CCR 871668 to ask for this "Waveform Setup" to be ignored (for performance reasons) but it's still not been resolved.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hello Andrew,

    thanks for the answer, but in this case there was no "import" involved, at least not a deliberate one

    Our designers always create tests via ADE-XL, they never use directly ADE-L nor they save states

    Best regards,

    Patrik

    Hi Patrick,

    In that case, I suggest you contact customer support via  your normal channel to see if we can get to the bottom of it.

    Andrew.
