Something is missing in this command

Hello All,

I'm using the function awvPlotSignals the syntaxis is awvPlotSignals(signal  ?plotStyle ?graphType) , but I can't understand how to set what type of signal to plot ( terminal or net ) by default seem to be net and when I try to plot terminal appears error for missing waveform.

Does anyone know how to define the signal type?

Regards,

Nikolay

    Matth,

    awvPlotSignals is a pretty horrible interface. I'd use the simpler OCEAN interface:

    newWindow()
    displayMode("smith")
    smithType("polar")
    plot(getData("loopGain" ?result 'stb))

    I would have expected: 

    awvPlotSignals(list(list(openResults() list(list("stb" list("loopGain"))))) ?plotStyle "New Window" ?graphType "Polar")

    to work, but I can't get it to behave. I get the graph, of Polar type, but there's no trace on it... whereas the 4 line approach above (which is much more readable) works fine. Note that you have to create a new window or sub window because you can't convert an existing rectangular graph into a smith or polar chart.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
