Can I use a variable as interpolation point in the value function?

@ Shawn: 

entering VAR("myvar") in the calculator returns the expected value

@ Andrew:

1. ICADVM18.1
2. ADE XL, Maestro view
3. initially ran a DC sweep; I have re-ran a transient and looking for a value in time:

Thank you for the added details!

Looking at the CIW error you posted, it appears the syntax of your leafValue() expression is missing arguments or parentheses...did you clip the CIW error?

I just tried an example value() function on a waveform from a simulation I performed in Assembler using a variable "sel_tdel" and printed the result to a table. Figure 1 suggests the use of a variable with your syntax evaluates properly. Hence, I am wondering if the issue is with your leafValue() syntax...any thoughts maaz2020?

I am using:

$ virtuoso -W
sub-version  ICADVM20.1-64b.500.16

I got it to work now; this is what happened:

when you send a waveform from ViVA graph to the calculator attaches leafValue(): if you try to elaborate the value expression with the VAR("tstrobe") directly from the calculator it returns the error (first figure).

I've removed the leafValue() from the expression in the buffer, and now it works, from within the calculator (second figure).

Eventually, when you send the buffer expression to ADE outputs, it removes the leafValue() anyway in ADE, so it will work regardless (last figure - I didn't tried that step before)
