ADE-XL: possible to reuse Matlab-type outputs in other scalar outputs?

Hi! Is it possible in ADE-XL to have (scalar) outputs that take as input the values returned by Matlab-type outputs ("measurements")?

For example: I have a Matlab output which calculates SNDR for an ADC taking into account calibration. Now I'd like to use that value as input to calculate a Figure-of-Merit=SNDR+10log10(Bandwidth/Power), but creating this expression in the calculator (as I would normally do if SNDR were calculated inside Virtuoso and not in Matlab) doesn't seem to work (I get in the results tab the text "eval error" for this output).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Regards, Jorge.

    Hi Jorge,

    I didn't try this, but I suspect you probably have to use calcVal("SNDR") in the expression rather than just SNDR. 

    Regards,

    Andrew.
