How to use ?result t_resultName in calcVal?

StephanWeber

Hi,

in Assembler I want to refer to a signal output "/VISENS" of an earlier run, done in "Interactive.NomSweep". So I want to create in another test an output with this expression:

calcVal("/VISENS" "Interactive.NomSweep")

This does not work because normally calcVal can only take a single output value, not a whole waveform. However, with  ?result t_resultName I should be able to refer to a whole wave, but I wonder how to do it? The user guide gives many great examples, but unfortunately not for using "?result ".

Can someone give some hints? "/VISENS" is the waveform from a DC sweep, and I want to apply also other calculations, like ymax, value, etc.

Bye Stephan

    calcVal refers to the output name, not a signal name. So putting in a node name like this makes absolutely no sense - a signal wouldn't be good enough because it wouldn't know which analysis you were referring to. It can certainly be a waveform though.

    So instead, create an output from your first test (and note, the second argument is the name of the test, not the history - there are other arguments for that) which is (say):

    visens: VT("/VISENS")

    or

    visens: v("/VISENS" ?result 'tran)

    and then in the second output you would use calcVal("visens" "firstTestName")
