Determine the corner name using a "measurement" function

Ivars

Hi,

I have a skill script that extracts a number of measurements from an ADEXL results database (post-simulation) and generates a formatted table. When applying this script to a corner simulation, I would like to determine the name of the corner associated with each child of the family so that I can use the corner name as the column header.

I apply each measurement function to the family of results, which returns a srrWave object. What I would like to do is apply a function such as cornerName() which would return a srrWave containing the corner names.

I can determine the corner names from the ADEXL results database, but what I need is a function that behaves just like a normal signal measurement function so that the ordering of the corner names matches that of the other measurements.

Is such a function possible?

  • Hi Ivars,

    There are probably many ways to do this, but it may depend on how you generate corners in ADEXL. If you have only a 1-dimensional sweep, you could use famGetSweepValues, documented in the skartistref, to retrieve a list of corner names. Since you said you need it as a waveform object, you can build up a waveform object from this list using drCreateVec, drSetElem, drPutWaveform*Vec, etc. If you have multi-dimensional sweep (which will happen when you generate ADEXL corners using the cross-product), I don't know a clean way to do it, but yesterday I posted a related question that may be of interest to you in case someone replies with a solution.

    Best,

    Stephen
