How to mimic a click or selection on a waveform in ViVA

Hi All

Currently, I am facing a bug for the "Spec Marker": "Spec Marker" will not be displayed by default when running corner simulation, even with the "visibiltyMode" of "Spec Marker" is set to be "on".

With Cadence Support, a CCR has been filed already. But before waiting for the results, I'd like to develop some work around to fit our urgent needs.

What I notice is that:

After clicking the waveform in the ViVA, even in a blank place, the ViVA window seems to be triggered, and then the "Spec Marker" is displayed and stay there afterwards.

I try to mimic this action, and loop through all the sub-windows, then I can display all the "Spec Marker".

I tried some API from "awv*" families, unfortunately none of them succeed.

Does anyone have a clue for it?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Yi

    Hi Yi,

    I recall this as a known issue (which was fixed, I think). Which subversion are  you using?

    If it's the issue I think, even if you set:

    envSetVal( "viva.specMarker" "visibilityMode" 'string "On" )

    then you had to select the waveforms once to make them appear. This was broken in 6.1.6.500.11, but should be fixed in 6.1.6.500.13. 

    In a faulty version, not sure you can fix it in SKILL. I've not checked, but I would be surprised, as it's a timing issue.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
