Transfering a vector output of one test to another test in Assembler

baltacican

Hello,

I am using IC 6.1.8.

Is there a quick way (a simple calcualtor function etc.) to transfer the vector (wave) output of a test in Assembler to the output list of another test in the same view (i.e. one maestro view, two tests)? I provide a more detailed description below in case the question is not so clear:

I create two tests in Assembler. Let's call them test_1 and test_2. I define an output in test_1:

ex: myOutput_1 = VT("/net1")

I activate both tests and run the simulation. After the results are available, I would like to be able to plot and process myOutput_1 of test_1 in test_2, maybe by using the outputs that are the result of test_2. I know that calcVal works quite well for scalar outputs (calcVal("myOutput_1" "test_1")). However, it gave an error when I tried to call a vector output.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Can

    Can,

    This really should work. I just tested it, and it works fine - at least in the sub-version I'm using (IC6.1.8-64b.500.26 - i.e. ISR26).

    Hi Andrew,

    Many thanks for your response.

    In fact, it works. However, I made some strange observations. First, if the output in test_1 is defined as an expression of a transient voltage, calcVal can transfer this output to test_2 with no problem. For example AOUTP = VT("/I2/AOUTP") can be transferred. However, if the output expression is a bit more complex, for example the difference of two traansient voltages in test_1, then it gives an eval err in in calcVal expression. For example, for AOUTD = (AOUTP - AOUTN) output of test_1, AOUTD_c = calcVal("AOUTD" "test_1") expression in test_2 gives an eval err. Finally, when I write calcVal("AOUTD" "test_1") in the calculator and evaluate it, it works! Moreover, if I transfer this expression from calculator to test_2 and re-evaluate the results, it works too! If I do this for all the non-working expressions that contain calcVal and relatively advanced expressions, I can clean all eval errs. However, this takes too much time and I don't understand why something that can normally work gives an eval err in the first place. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

    Many thanks.

    Best regards,

    Can

    Can,

    I'm not sure I exactly get what you've done. This is intended to be reliable, so please contact customer support so that we can look at the specific issue.
