create a new switch for variable acces using ocean script

Hi everyone! I would like to create a new switch that's is very similar to sp2tswitch (analogLib). The only difference between them is that i could assign a variable name instead of having to go to the window component and acces components parameters directlly. By the way, the idea is to control the switch using a variable in a ocean script. How can i do that? Is that possible? Best regards, Canosa

    Gautham,

    I discovered that this is because of a difference in the Edit CDF form in IC61X. I think it's a bug really, but as a workaround you can do the following:

    For each of the parameters position, dcPosition, acPosition, tranPosition, icPosition, click on them, and then erase the Choices field (it will show as "0 1 2"), and then set the type to string. You may then want to fill in the Default value back to 0 again. If you do that, you'll not have the warning you were seeing, and the parameter type will be correctly updated. What was happening was that the CDF parameter was not being recreated, and hence it disappeared - which is why it didn't show up on the edit properties form.

    You might also want to report this via Customer Support (please reference this thread) so that the bug can be filed to get this to behave more sensibly.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
