Qt family plot names are aweful

markbeck

 I'm currently using IC6.1.5.500.1

I'm finding that the new Qt plotter isn't displaying useful names on family plots.

e.g.
I have a simulation where I've done a ParamSweep. Then I probe a particular voltage.

v_in = getData("/in<1>") - getData("/in<0>")


if I issue the command plot(v_in), I expect to see in the plotter a family waveform with the family named: v_in


However, I find that it has a name like:

(getData("/in<1>" ?resultsDir "/some/really/long/path" ?result "tran") - getData("in<0>" ?resultsDir "/some/really/long/path" ?result "tran"))


Is there a skill method to force what name is used by the plotter for family waveforms?

  • Mark,

    I think it always did that. Anyway, just use:

    plot(v_in ?expr list("v_in"))

    Regards,

  •  Actually, before 6.1.5, family plots weren't grouped the same way.  They would plot each member of the family as an individual waveform.

    This was both good and bad.  It didn't show much relationship between the waveforms, but it did allow you to individually name each of the waveforms.

    That said, I could be doing something wrong here, but when I tried executing the command:

    plot(v_in ?expr list("v_in"))

    It still gave me the excessively long group name and ignored my 'v_in' label.

    It works fine if I'm only ploting a single waveform, it just seems broken for family waveforms.

  • OK, I just tried it. You're right - it doesn't work.

    Can you log a service request? Please post back the SR number here and then I can keep an eye on it and jump on the CCR when it comes through.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • I created two service requests: 

    42425200 - plot(wfm ?expr list("name")) fails in 6.1.5

    42425218 - plotter doesn't honor assigned names for familes

     

    The 2nd one relates to the fact that the plott doesn't seem to honor the names assigned to a family's waveform children. It just uses the family name across all plots.
