passing a result from previous test ADEXL

Hi Cadence Support,

Trimming an oscillator or a bias or something similar , I need to find the right trimming code at the first test and pass it to the second.

if your first test is named "DC_AC" , your output from the first test is named "right_code", the second test is named "TRAN", and the variable in this test is named "in_code"

the syntax was something like this....

or (test "DC_AC" output "right_code") or without the "", or I do not know....

I was using it 3 years ago and I can not remember now.  I have searched in the ADEXL documents and the forum, but I found nothing.

Thanks for your support

    The function you want is calcVal and with ADE XL it only works on global variables, not design variables (it does with the newer ADE Assembler; note that ADE XL is end-of-sale and so you should migrate to Assembler). You can generate the expression by clicking in the box next to the global variable (or ADE Assembler design variable), emptying the value, and then clicking on the relevant output and dragging it across to the variable you are trying to set.

    The expression would be something like calcVal("right_code" "DC_AC")
