Changing net probe color

eyalg

I had try to control the color of the net probe with no success.

I tried using the function: geEnterAddNetProbe( hiGetCurrentWindow() list( "y0" "drawing") nil t )

and change Y0 to Y1 or Y0 to Y9 and the net probe color is changing each time I enter this function.

 

Is there a way to control the net probe color (create probe with red color for example).

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Eyal,

    I don't really understand your issue - for me, "y1" is red, so if I call the above function with "y1" instead of "y0", every net I probe ends up in red - if I click on multiple nets, or if I call the function several times. It does not cycle.

    Can you clarify what the actual issue is?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    From some reason it is not working for me.

    I am selcting one net in shematic.

    I enter in the ciw the command: geEnterAddNetProbe( hiGetCurrentWindow() list( "y1" "drawing") nil t )

    The net change to some color (not allways red)

    when entering the same command in the ciw again the net color cycle.

    Hi Eyal,

    Which version are you using? Type getVersion(t) in the CIW...

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    "sub-version  IC6.1.4-64b.500.12 "

    Hmm, I tried that version, and saw the same behaviour - it worked for me. In fact there was a CCR (1025095) which was related to the fact that as soon as you'd probed with a specific colour, and then used the normal probe command (from the menu), it no longer cycled - that's the behaviour I see in IC614 ISR12. This was fixed in IC615 ISR13, and now I see that it is indeed cycling OK when I go back to using the normal probe command.

    So I don't know why you're seeing what you're seeing (that version has not been supported for some considerable time now).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
