passing global variable to ADE output

TommasoF
TommasoF over 3 years ago

Hi all,

in ADE assembler I defined a global variable named "active_port" which value is changing from corner to corner


The ADE test is made up by a DC+ SP simulation. In the ADE outputs I defined a bunch of equations as shown below.


Now, my wish would be to have the index of the equations to change according to the corner, like shown in the example here below, where instead of having the number "hard-coded" I enter the variable I desire.


When evaluating the equation I get an "eval err". I tried in several ways using "value", "leafValue" but so far it didn't workout.

So then I tried to evaluate the variable itself

and  I see that the variable has some independent variable included (see green arrow below), which probably cause the trouble I have. I was looking for ways to just extract the scalar value being displayed, but I found no means to do it.


I hope the problem statement is clear. Any idea on how to fix it ?

thanks!
Tommaso

    Is there any chance to get it run also in Assembler ?

    As Saloni mentioned before, there's an enhancement CCR to get this resolved. Please contact customer support and request that a duplicate is filed (I didn't check what the CCR number is).
