Printing in engineering notation

swdesigner

In IC6 (maybe even in IC5) the ADE outputs are displayed in engineering notation with symbols - that is, 10e-6 is 10u, 10e-3 is 10m, etc.

This is convenient.

Is there any way to print numbers this way using printf or some other function in skill?

Note, I don't want to print 10e-3 as 10e-3, I want it to come out as 10m.

Thanks!

  • Good question - in this case, I don't need to pass arguments to them.

    In my schematic, I want to hit a bindkey and then select a net or terminal current to plot. THe way this happens is - it first gets sent to the buffer field (?) of the calculator.

     THen, I hit another bindkey and plot what's in the buffer of the calculator in the waveform window.

    Since I hadn't seen these functions before, I was curious what else I might be missing out on. THere's things I want to do to make life easier, so I'm looking to see what's available. Bindkeys are a big part of productivity - and for that, one needs to know what functions are available or being called during routine interactions.

    With appropriate settings for the log filter options, most of the interactions get logged in the CDS.log and it's easy to build up bindkeys. However, with viva, very little shows up in the log, so I've been working with CCS on that..

    Thanks!
