Is there a way to add outputs/expressions into artist automatically?

greatqs

I find adding many complex outputs/expressions manually would be
troublesome and not easy to maintain (i.e. I'm still using ic5141). I want to save all my
expressions (e.g. DC gain, phase margin ... ...) into a text file and
automatically update to artist session when they're modified.

 

thanks,
qs

    No, because it wouldn't be private then! The whole point of functions remaining private is that if you start using them, there's some support implied, and then if we need to change something in the implementation, it might break.

    You could build a CSV file (as you get with Outputs->Export) and then you could do this (fairly yucky) way:

Not a very pretty way of doing this, but there's no procedural
interface, and hiEnqueueCmd/hiRegTimer don't seem to work because
of the blocking nature of the dialog (I think).

Example:

abLoadADECSV(sevSession(hiGetCurrentWindow()) "." "dump.csv")

procedure(abLoadADECSV(sevSess dirName fileName)
  let((tmpFile port)
    tmpFile=makeTempFileName(strcat(getTempDir() "/tempCSV"))
    port=outfile(tmpFile)
    fprintf(port "\\a sevImportOutputsFromFile('%s)\n" sevSess)
    fprintf(port "\\a hiFileDialogSetSelection(fileBrowser '(%L %L) 'done)\n"
      dirName fileName)
    fprintf(port "\\a hiFileDialogDone(fileBrowser t)\n")
    close(port)
    hiReplayFile(tmpFile)
    deleteFile(tempFile)
  )
)
