How to get status of variable (enabled/disabled) from checkpoint using SKILL

Hi,

Is it any SKILL function that allows to know if variable was enabled in checkpoint (history entry).

I mean I can get list of global variables from checkpoint using axlGetVars(), but then i want to know which variables was disabled.

And second question, is it possible to get list of variables for test in checkpoint?

Andrew Beckett over 8 years ago

sess=axlGetWindowSession()
sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(sess)
hist=axlGetHistoryEntry(sdb "tran.3")
ckpt=axlGetHistoryCheckpoint(hist)
var=axlGetVar(ckpt "rx_inpbufwhatever")
axlGetEnabled(var) ; was it enabled or not.

Regards,

Andrew.

Andrew, thank you very much. (It is typo in line 5. should be ckpt instead of kept)
What about my second question? Is it a way to get also list of variables for test in checkpoint?

Sorry - that was auto-corrected by my web browser. I've just boarded a plane so I'll answer the second question later when I've landed... (I didn't notice it earlier)

Corrected the earlier post. To get the design variables for a test (from a particular history), just do:

sevSess=axlGetToolSession(sess "TRAN" ?history "tran.3")
asiGetDesignVarList(sevEnvironment(sevSess))

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
I have a problem with asiGetDesignVarList function.
In Assembler it is possible now to define sweep for variable in test. So if sweep defined for variable, asiGetDesignVarList function returns zero as value of this variable.
Is it bug? Is it any other way to get value of variable for a test from a particular history?
Best regards,
Alex.

Alex,

I'd hoped that maeGetVar() could do this, but currently it just shows one value for the variable when called with

maeGetVar("AVDD" ?typeName "test" ?typeValue "AMP_SIM")

for example. I've appended this to a CCR asking for a nice mae function way of doing this.

For now, you can use:

axlSess=axlGetWindowSession()
sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(axlSess)
test=axlGetTest(sdb "AMP_SIM")
var=axlGetVar(test "AVDD")
varVal=axlGetVarValue(var)

Regards,

Andrew.

Andrew,
Actually I need this for history item. But I figured out I can use axlGetHistoryCheckpoint to get database, and then rest of the scripts works fine.
Thank you.

Good point - sorry, I overlooked the fact that you said you wanted to do this for a history.
