A skill function or skill routine to readout a CDF Parameter from an instance!

Peach99

Hello,

I want to know, how I can readout a CDF Parameter of an Instance (on an appointed schematic)! Is there a skill function or a skill routine, who can do this? I only need a skill description! I can't find out, how I can do this!!

best regards

Daniel Pietsch

  • Hi Daniel,

    If  you have CDS_Netlisting_Mode set to "Analog" you can do:

    instId~>myParamName

    and it will retrieve the CDF value on that instance - this is either the instance property (if set) or the default from the CDF (if no instance value is on the instance).

    Alternatively you can use:

    cdf=cdfGetInstCDF(instId)
    cdf->myParamName->value

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  •  How I can get the Instance ID??

  • There are several ways to do this.

    If the instance is selected:  instId = car(selectedSet())  or  css()

    instId = dbFindAnyInstByName(geGetEditCellView() "myInstName")

    All the instances in the cellview are here:  geGetEditCellView()~>instances

  • Just wanted to point out that css() is a private SKILL function, and should not be used in code as it is liable to be removed at any point. selectedSet() is not documented; it's only there for legacy reasons (compatibility with Edge/Artist (pre-DFII) code) and whilst is not strictly private, you should not really use it.

    The public functions are called geGetSelSet() and geGetSelectedSet().

    Regards,

    Andrew.
