Identify a waveform's full Y axis labels?

markbeck

I am trying to determine what a waveform viewer's Y-axis is labeled, however I'm having trouble with awvGetYAxisLabel()

First example:

I am viewing a waveform with voltage on one axis labeled "V (V)", and current on the other axis labeled "I (uA)". If I then issue the commands:

awvGetYAxisLabel(awvGetCurrentWindow() 1)

awvGetYAxisLabel(awvGetCurrentWindow() 2)

I get back "V" and "I" respectively.  This is all fine and good.

 

Second example:

I have an ac plot with voltage magnitude "Mag (mV)" on one axis and a current magnitude "Mag (uA)" on the other. If I issue the same commands I get back: "Mag" and "Mag".  Not exactly descriptive of what is plotted on which axis.

Is there any way to get  the entire Y-axis descirption back from the waveform viewer?

    Mark,

    Most likely the right answer is to use yvec=drGetWaveformYVec(waveObject) and then yvec~>units and yvec~>name

    For your specific question though, it might help to know which version of the tools you're using, and which waveform viewer (in the case of IC5141).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Sorry, I'm using IC6.1.5.500.1

     So the issue is that I don't have access to the waveObject.  I'm trying to determine what's currently in the"Visulization & analysis" current window.

    Clearest example:

    w_plot = awvGetCurrentWindow()

    y_axis = awvGetYAxisLabel(w_plot 1)

     

    If I could query the viewer and get back a list of the actual waveObjects, that would be optimal (but I've asked that question before and been told that there currently isn't a method to accurately do this).
