How to evaluate the variable in a maestro measurement expression and not treat it as a literal string

Genas

I am trying to measure some signals and it is constantly evaluating it as a string and not capturing it as a variable

Example:

This scenario works perfectly --> maeAddOutput(strcat("read" "avg") title ?outputType "point" ?expr "average(VT(\"/net_read\"))")

But I am trying to use a variable for the signal name, how can I achieve that.?

Example: name = “net_read”

maeAddOutput(strcat("read" "avg") title ?outputType "point" ?expr "average(VT(\"/name\"))")

 How can I tell it to replace name with the variable because it is currently processing name as an input  signal and not the content (net_read)

What is the correct syntax to insert variable in a maestro measurement expression

  • I assume (if I've understood you correctly) you want in your SKILL code to do this:

    maeAddOutput(strcat("read" "avg") title ?outputType "point" ?expr lsprintf("average(VT(\"/%s\"))" name))

    In other words, you'd have to use normal string manipulation functions to build the expression. BTW, lsprintf is essentially the same as doing sprintf(nil ...)

    Thank you very much, this is exactly what I was looking for.

    Hey Andrew, I think you should take over the cadence customer service because I contacted customer service and the rep told me this is not possible with skill that i have to use the signal name directly.

    To give my colleagues in customer support the benefit of the doubt, it may just have been that your question was not that clear. Given that Shawn also didn't get what you meant, and I had to guess, I suspect my colleagues also misinterpreted your question. Thanks for the feedback though (even though it's not really a scalable option!)
