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

  • Hi Nikolay,

    You have to use the netlist name with “.” as the hierarchy separator when using this API (I think). You can see these names by using:

    outputs(?result “tran-tran” ?map nil)

    So for example (in my case openResults() didn’t have the “/psf” on the end - hence the strcat):

    awvPlotSignals(list(list(strcat(openResults() "/psf") list(list("tran-tran" list("I7.net022"))))) ?plotStyle "New Window" ?graphType "Default”)

    Personally I would just have used:

    plot(v(“/I7/net022”) ?result ‘tran)

    if this had come from ADE. If from a standalone netlist, the same as above, but with “I7.net022”. Essentially a leading slash means it is a schematic name which should be mapped using the info in the map/amap directory - if present. If not present in the netlist dir, you have to use the netlist hierarchy separators instead.
