OCEAN Script in ADE Explorer Outputs Setup no Output

msharma

I am setting outputs for the ADE Explorer, and want to use OCEAN script in one of the outputs.

As a start, my script has a simple line:

axlResult=1 + 4

However, when I evaluate all the outputs in the ADE, this output evaluation throws an error:

ERROR (WIA-1175): Cannot plot waveform signals because no waveform data is available for plotting.
One of the possible reasons can be that 'Save' check box for these signals are not selected in the Outputs Setup pane. Ensure that these check boxes are selected before you run the simulation.

What is the correct way to use OCEAN script in ADE Explorer? I could not find an example in the documentation.

    This works for me. What IC sub-version are you using? (Help->About will tell you - please give the full version number).

    Hi Andrew, sorry for the late reply.
    I am using IC23.1-64b.ISR11.29

    Also, I noticed that the same outputs worked OK in the ADE Assembler. But, I am predominantly using the Explorer at the moment.

    OK, I see the problem (the WIA-1175 error is a red herring). The issue is that "simple" OCEAN script measurements compute the result, but do not display the value in the Explorer result if the run is a single point run (if you hover over the empty space where the result should be, it shows up in the tooltip though). This is also there in IC23.1 ISR16. It's gone in IC25.1 because now ADE Explorer always shows the results in the "Assembler" style - i.e. in the same format that is used when multiple simulations are run, rather than using a mix of ADE L-like display or the tabulator output depending on the number of simulations.

    In the version you're using, if you use the form of OCEAN scripts which allows for multiple outputs:

    axlAddOutputs(list("first"))
    axlOutputResult(1 + 4 "first")

    Then it shows a row "first" with the result of the expression, and that works fine in Explorer.
