Sweeping of variable with step as expression

Nicolas Callens

Hi all, 

I wanted to sweep a parameter as follows in ADE XL, "vin" should be swept between [initInput,endInput] with steps of (endInput-initInput)/amountPoints (with amountPoints, initInput and endInput as global variables). Or in other words, I want to get something like this in the field of "vin" in ADE XL: initInput:(endInput-initInput)/amountPoints:endInput. However, if I am inserting this as value for the variable "vin" I am getting a error that it is not a valid range.

Thanks!

Kind regards, 

Nicolas

    Hi Nicolas,

    As far as I know this is not possible. You should contact customer support to request an enhancement. You could control the start and stop points (but not the step size) by doing:

    normalizedSweep:   0:0.1:1    # or define the number of steps - but sweep between start and stop:
    initInput:  23.3  # whatever value you want
    endInput:   63.9   # whatever value you want
    vin: normalizedSweep*(endInput-initInput)+initInput

    Note, I didn't test this out - but I think it should work. The main thing is that you can't parameterise the step size, as far as I know.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
