Adding corners to ADE-XL setup

Robertk

Hello,

I'm pretty new to Skill and am currently trying to add corners with variable values I read in from a .csv-file. So far I'm using axlPutCorner() to create a new one which then gives me handle to it but I wasn't able to find any following command to set the variables and values.

I guess there is the possibility to save the .sdb-file for the corners and change that file with the script, but was wondering if there is an easier way to create a corner, like creating outputs with axlAddOutputExpr(). It seems rather difficult to change the xml-code with Skill.

    Use axlPutVar() with the handle of the corner as the first argument. For example:

    sess=axlGetWindowSession()
    "session0"
    sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(sess)
    1001
    corn=axlPutCorner(sdb "C3")
    1413
    axlPutVar(corn "vdd" "3")
    1415
    axlPutVar(corn "temperature" "-40 90")
    1417
    axlPutVar(corn "gain" "5")
    1419

    The bold functions are what I entered, and the values are below.

    If you need to add a model file and section, you'd do:

    model=axlPutModel(corn "myModels.scs")
    axlSetModelSection(model "typ")

    For example.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
