ADE Assembler Plotting Template Issue

StephanWeber

Hi,

I had 3 tests in ADE and run nominal, and created a nice template. Next I extended my test suite, having now 7 tests, thus I want to extend the plotting template for the new outputs& tests only.

So I run all the 7 tests at nominal, do a plot all with the old template.

Guess what I got?

I only got the outputs from the 3 initial tests!

So it looks that I cannot re-use the template, and just extend it.

Is there a better way, like :

1. get the arragnements for the 3 initial tests acc. to the template

2. get a plain plot for new outputs in the 3 initial tests

3. get a plain plot for the other 4 tests, not covered by the template at all

Can I achieve this? Or is my work on the initial template actually wasted?

Bye Stephan

  • Stephan,

    By design, plotting templates only plot outputs as covered in the plotting template. The reason being, you might have multiple plotting templates, each plotting part of the overall set of possible outputs - so it would be bad to automatically plot anything not mentioned in the plotting template.

    However, you should be able to plot with the plotting template, then add the traces you wish to add from the existing tests or new tests, and then save the plotting template again (either with a new name or overwriting the original name).

    If you want an option to plot missing traces, that would need an option to control this (there's already an option to be able to plot missing leaves); please contact customer support for that.

    Thanks Andrew.

    My impression was that the plotting template works like this:

    1. Do a kind of virtual plot-all

    2. Execute the modification steps, like a macro-recorder

    3. Then display the result

    If so it would be easy to get the desired "extendable"  behavior.

    I got this impression, because plotting with template is quire slow, e.g. a plotting template which has at the end only one curve to plot would be much faster, then what the plotting with template really is.

    Bye Stephan
