use of multiple calcVal() expressions to create a sweep in the dependent test

Parvez

Hi,

I have some expressions named as "code_1ui" and "code_2ui" in test1 that generate integer codes in each corner.

In test2, I want to fetch these variables and create a sweep, such that test2 runs for code_1ui and code_2ui in all the matching corners (I am using the same corners in both tests).

I am trying to do this by defining a variable in test2 as follows:

code_to_use: calcVal("code_1ui" "test1" ?historyName "Interactive.20" ),calcVal("code_2ui" "test1" ?historyName "Interactive.20" )

Although it can fetch code_1ui values in the first sweep of test2, it can't get the code_2ui values in the 2nd sweep.

 

Please let me know if this is possible and what is the correct way of doing this.

Best regards,

Parvez.

  • Parvez,

    You can't do this. Sweep points cannot be the result of a function.

    You could however (and I didn't test this) create two variables:

    simpleSweep: 1,2
    code_to_use: case(simpleSweep (1 calcVal("code_1ui" "test1" ?historyName "Interactive.20" )) (2 calcVal("code_2ui" "test1" ?historyName "Interactive.20" ))

    (You might need to use VAR("simpleSweep") instead of just referring to it directly, but I think it should be fine with the simple reference). In essence you are just sweeping with fixed values, and then having a more complex dependent expression to do the lookup.

    Thanks, Andrew.

    It worked with a slight modification to avoid the complications of having a different local sweep in test2 (there was no sweep in test1):

    code_to_use: case(simpleSweep (1 calcVal("code_1ui" "test1" ?historyName "Interactive.20" ?getFirstSweepPoint t )) (2 calcVal("code_2ui" "test1" ?historyName "Interactive.20" ?getFirstSweepPoint t )))
