Skill automation of analog environment and analysis

jmoore
jmoore over 16 years ago
I am trying to write a skill script which setts up analog environment, runs several simulations and then does some analysis of the data. I have the sett up and run portion working, but can not figure out a way of weighting for the simulation to finish to retrieve the data with out blocking and sucking cpu resources with a wile loop. What is needed is some form of call back or delayed polling of ( results() == '(variables) ) any advice would be appreciated.

start simulation:

sevNetlistAndRun('sevSession1)

current method of testing for simulation to complete non functional:

while( results() == '(variables) nil ) ;

     You could try hiRegTimer which will perform a wait and then wake up and execute a callback:

     

    hiRegTimer( "results()" 100 ) 

    Runs results() every 10 seconds. All your processing should be done within the callback.
