Skill code to get devices connected to probed net in sch

nayudu

Skill code to get devices connected to probed net in sch instances with respect to top level.

if net1 is probed in sch which is connected to mn1 in inst1 at top level and mp1 in inst2 in lower level.

i want the output in file with below contents

inst1/mn1

inst1/inst2/mp1

 

immediate help is appreciated. 

  • Not sure what you need this for, but in IC616 there's a new "Probes" assistant which provides this information - so maybe that would avoid you having to write something?

    If you probe a net, e.g. by going over the wire and doing Right Mouse->Probe (or hit the "9" bindkey), you can do Window->Assistants->Probe and you can see all the instance pins that it is connected to down the hierarchy. This info can be exported to a file too.

  • Hi Andrew, 

    In IC615 that feature is not there, so i am looking for the script.

      

  • It's quite a lot of work to do something that fully traces a net. Given that moving to using IC616 should not be a major upheaval for somebody on IC615, could you give it a try in IC616? Even if you continue with IC615 for production work.

    I don't have any (complete) code that does this. Maybe somebody else does though...

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hi Andrew, what's the SKILL function to call "Window->Assistants->Probe" on a given net? I need to probe all input terminals on a top level schematic and save the output file for post possessing. Thanks

  • log file shows the following, is _ntNtSetProbeChecked the right function to do what I need?

    \a _ntNtSetProbeChecked(dwindow('ntAssistant1) "/IN (probe2)" t)

    \a hiFormCancel(schObjPropForm)

    \a schHiMousePopUp()

    \a hiPopupDown(schWirePopUp)

    \a geEnterAddNetProbe()

    \a _ntNtSetProbeChecked(dwindow('ntAssistant3) "/F_CIDEE_OSCPLS (GeSelSetProbe_TOP_F_CIDEE_OSCPLS_0)" t)  

  • Hi NoSaj,

    The SKILL API for doing this is geAddNetProbe() - read the documentation for how to call it.  Also, please don't append to the end of a thread from over 2 years ago - start a new thread, there's no tax on starting a new focussed topic of conversation, and you are likely to get better quality responses as a result.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
