back annotating bussed terminal DC voltages with cdsterm in Symbol

evalstring( sprintf(nil "cdsTerm(%L)" bitname) ) should work, and than loop over dbProduceMemName("ADJUST<7:0>"), might be more readable.

Regards,

Hi henker,

Yes indeed, :

apply('strcat foreach(mapcar s dbProduceMemName("qin6<7:0>") evalstring(sprintf(nil "cdsTerm(%L)" s) ))) ;=> ok

Is more clear, but the ouput in the symbol is : 01.81.801.81.801.8   for   "0b0110 1101"

The nice output is want is "0b01101101" in the label.

I managed it with :

strcat("0b" apply('strcat foreach(mapcar cds list(cdsTerm("ADJUST<7>") cdsTerm("ADJUST<6>") cdsTerm("ADJUST<5>") cdsTerm("ADJUST<4>") cdsTerm("ADJUST<3>") cdsTerm("ADJUST<2>") cdsTerm("ADJUST<1>") cdsTerm("ADJUST<0>")) sprintf(nil "%d" floor(evalstring(cds))))))

But i was not able to do it so far, even with your trick. IF i mix the two ideas i got nil or nothing in the label.

My evalstring example returns a string with the annotated voltage on that bit (the string that is returned by cdsTerm).

You want a logic value, which you generate by calculating the floor of the number representation of the annotation value (which is the result of the evalstring in your example), This however obviously only works if your output voltage is between 1 and 2 (>=1 && <2 to be exact).

You have to combine both approaches, I had intentionally left this as your home exercise...

Anyway, stretched with comments:

strcat(
	"0b" 
	apply('strcat 
		foreach(mapcar s dbProduceMemName("qin6<7:0>")
			; s contains each bit of the bus notation
			s = evalstring(sprintf(nil "cdsTerm(%L)" s))
			; s contains the string of the annotated value (can be voltage, can be something else)
			s = atof(s)
			; s now contains a float value if the input string was a number, nil otherwise

			; return result of a A2D conversion with a threshold; in your example maybe VDD/2 = 0.9V
			; also should handle what happens if no voltage is annotated, here just return ""
			if(s if(s<0.9 "0" "1") "")
		)
	)
)

Instead of a complicated one-liner you also could put this into a procedure with some control arguments, where you have a bit more freedom, and call this in the label, e.g.
cdsTermBusAD("qin6<7:0>" ?threshold 0.9 ?encoding "binary").

I leave options and possibilities of this approach to your fantasy, just for starters, e.g. instead of the fixed threshold you could get the current supply/ground voltage from the instance and calculate the threshold with that. Again, as home exercise, if you want...

How do you know i a am a one-liner fan? ;-)

Here is you solution that works :

strcat("0b" apply('strcat foreach(mapcar s dbProduceMemName("qin6<7:0>") if(atof(evalstring(sprintf(nil "cdsTerm(%L)" s)))>0.9 "1" "0")))) ;<= one liner solution OK !

!

I was almost there, but if you remove the atof part, the result is nil. That was my mistake.

But i did not imagine it was possible to create one's function and call it in the symbol label. I love that feature. May be i will dig into it later. (I need to do my work before my homeWork)

Thanks Henker for your nice tips.
