pPar not works for intiger CDF parameters

Sarvani

 Hi all,

        Is pPar works for all CDF parameters? I need to pass intiger numbers (like no. of fingers) from top level to bottem level in schematic. But when I enter pPar(NF) through edit object properties options then it doesn't work's. How can I get this intiger values to bottom level? Let me know if any other set up is needed.

thankyou,

sarvani

  • Hi Mouadh,

    I'm assuming that the topmost PCell is a SKILL PCell?  When you instantiate the lower level PCell in the code you supply the parameter to that cell - the name of the parameter can be the same as the lower level cell, or entirely different, it's up to you.  So in your call to dbCreateParamInst or dbCreateParamInstByMasterName, you use that parameter in the list of parameters supplied to the instance you are creating, something like this:

    dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(pcCellView "basic" "nand" "symbol" "inst1" 
list(0 0) "R0" 1 list(list("area" "float" myTopLevelAreaParam)) t )

    In this case the lower level parameter is named "area" and the top level parameter is "myTopLevelAreaParam".  Hopefully this answers the question?

    regards,

    Lawrence.
