ADE - Copy Design Variables From Cellview - CDF parameters

Adrian Nistor
Adrian Nistor over 14 years ago

Hello,

I have a schematic with one instance. That instance has 3 parameters defind in CDF:
Param1 (float) = 1.23
Param2 (string) = "1.23"
Param3 (string + parseAsNumber) = "1.23"
I open Analog Design Environment and I select Variables - Copy From CellView and no design variable is found (this is normal);

 BUT

If I set:
Param1 (float) = 1.23
Param2 (string) = "abc def"
Param3 (string + parseAsNumber) = "ghi jkl
then in Analog Design Environment and I select Variables - Copy From CellView and the result is that I get 2 variables:
"ghi" and "jkl" ! I don't understand why?

The question: How does ADE find the Design Variables in a Cell View ? (on what rules? Why are both strings taken ? Why only the strings from the parameters with parseAsNumber? )

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Adrian

     Thanks Andrew for the explination, 

    so, for a string CDF parameter which may have non numerical string values, if I want:

    - to be detected by ADE (for design variables) I should have: parseAsNumber,  (and also would be nice to have parseAsCEL)

    - NOT to be detected by ADE (for design variables) I should: remove parseAsNumber

    Is this a correct conclusion ?

     

    Thank you,

    Best Regards,

    Adrian
