help on how to find the corresponding instance name

Blues

In Schematic composer, there have a bus named "<*2>AA<1>,AD<3:0>,AB<1:0>" and it connect to an instance array named XDEC<7:0> 's terminal A.

Now, we can have an input string "AD<2>", how to get its connected instance name? The result should be XDEC<4>, how to writing the skill code? The property did not have the related information, maybe the probe function can help?

    sig=dbFindSigByName(cvId "AD<2>")
    foreach(memInstTerm sig~>memInstTerms
      printf("Connected to pin %s on instance %s\n"
        car(memInstTerm)~>name
        dbGetMemName(car(memInstTerm)~>inst~>name cadr(memInstTerm))
      )
    )

    Note that this would get a bit more complicated if you were connected to a bus net on an iterated instance, but hopefully this gives you the idea in principle.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
