Detecting the cadence version

swdesigner

Is there a simple way to detect which version one is running? I need to change some bindkeys based on whether my default waveform viewer will be AWV or VIVA..

 

Thanks

     Hi,

    As an alternative to what Andrew wrote, I've been using the following snippet of code:

    
      when(subVer = cadr(parseString(getVersion(t)))
    cond(
    (rexMatchp("IC" subVer)
    mainVer = substring(subVer 3 5)
    )
    (t
    mainVer = substring(subVer 1 7)
    )
    )
    ); when

    This should allow for the different format between IC5141 and IC61x, mainVer would be "5.10.41", "6.1.4", "6.1.5" etc.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
