deepprobe equivalent for tapping a whole bus?

Hi! Is there any way to tap a whole bus in a schematic hierarchy using some element similar to deepprobe?

The brute-force approach of instantiating individual deeprobe instances for each signal in the bus becomes impractical for wide buses.

Could this be achieved in some simple way, or would it necessarily require some very complex solution? (deepprobe-based pcell with custom netlisting procedures?)

Thanks in advance for any help!

KR, Jorge.

I think the deepprobe was enhanced recently so you can probe the whole bus with one instance.

Indeed. See Support Schematic Syntax and Buses for deepprobe Instance in AnalogLib (Video) - this was supported from IC23.1 ISR7 onwards. You can enter the probe as (for example) /I0/bus<7:0> - you need to ensure that the deep probe instance name is an iterated instance with the same width as the probed bus (e.g. DEEP<7:0> ).
