Retain settings in Visualisation & Analysis Tool

LukiLeu

Hi,

In the Visualisation & Analysis Tool, I split up some of the waveforms to different stripes or I move some of the waveforms to an additional subwindow. However when I start a new simulation, all my changes are resetted. Eg. the curves which I moved to a different subwindow, are now moved back, or my stripes get removed and all curves from this plot are now plotted again in the same stripe.

Is there a possibility that the stripes and subwindows are retained when a new simulation is performed?

Thanks in advance

Lukas

    Hi Lukas,
    This is one of the features we are currently trying to improve. At the moment, in ADE-XL and Assembler you can select Options->Plotting/Printing… in the menu and then set the 'Plotting Option' to ‘Refresh’ in the pop-up form. Note that before starting running a new simulation ViVA must be still open with the plots and the customization you have done. Once simulation is finished then the waveforms should get updated and plotted according to your customization. 
    The ‘Refresh’ Plotting option is also available in Explorer under Results->Printing/Plotting Options…
    In ADE-L, you need to set ‘Plot after simulation’ to ‘Refresh’ which is located at the bottom middle side of the ADE-L window.
    You haven’t mentioned which ADE tool you are using so I tried to cover all cases. 
    Regards,
    Dimitra

    Hi Dimitra,

    Thank you for your response. I am currently using ADE-L. I already set there the 'Plot after simulation' to Refresh, but it keeps loosing my customizations. I will try on Monday if it works with ADE-XL.

    Regards

    To be honest, it's more likely to work with ADE L than XL. XL is a whole lot more complicated than L because the results directory (typically) changes each time.

    As Dimitra said, we know it's an issue that needs to be improved, so there is work going on currently to provide a mechanism to maintain the waveform setup from run to run in a more robust manner than it does now. It's actually significantly harder than it might seem because of the fact that there's no guarantee you do the same thing the next time around.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
