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?

    Thank you for your quick reply, Andrew.
    In fact, in my case, I0 is a spectre netlist, not a real schematic. Therefore, I cannot select terminals or nets using GUI. Neither can I directly input the net or terminal's name in the test editor (even if I do this, ADE XL doesn't allow me to tick 'save' or 'plot'. This is why I want to find a way to specify the nets/terminals I want to save. I already know if I run the whole simulation using Ocean script, I can do that. But what if I still want to use ADE XL? Is there any way I can do this? Thanks.
