Printing in engineering notation

swdesigner
swdesigner over 13 years ago

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!

    Hi,

              Looking at default bindkeys in viva (Help > Bindkey), I notice things like

     

    selectAllTracesInSTrip and zoomModeX

    But, using cdnshelp, I couldn't find any documentation on these. Any thoughts on how I would find these?

    Here are some things I'd like to be able to bindkey in Viva :

     

    Toggle grid ON/OFF

    Toggle plot thickness

    Increase signal name font (for example, in the schematic editor, I use CTRL-UP to increase all pin name display text 25%)

    Any help would be super. CCS has given me some links to read, and I'm trying to digest that for now. 

    Thanks for helping!
