How to add output signals in ADE XL using "Ocean Measurement Script"?

Dear all,

After browsing ADE XL SKILL manual, I found that ADE XL provides a function axlAddOutputSignal(). So I tried this script and load it in ADE XL as an "Ocean Measurement script":

session = axlGetWindowSession()
testname = "test:inv_tb:1"
axlAddOutputSignal(session testname "I0.T0:s" ?type "terminal" ?plot t ?save t)

After running the simulation, in Results Browser, I cannot find "I0.T0:s", which I specified. Is there something else I need to do?

    First of all I don't think you'd add this as an OCEAN measurement script, because that normally is run in the "ICRP" - which is a background process and won't have access to the window session. You would just enter these functions in the CIW.

    However, I think you have to specify the output signals using the schematic name rather than the netlist name. I just tried this, and what happens is that it gets added, but with the plot and save turned off, and you can't turn them off. You would have to use "/I0/T0/s" (or whatever the terminal name is for T0 if it's not "s" on the schematic/symbol).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
