skill code to toggle waveform visibility

drdanmc

Hello,

I've found that it is not all that uncommon for me to have a simulation set up in ADE-L  (or ocean) that plots a moderate number of waveforms.  Often I find that the first thing I do is make them all invisible and then toggle on a few at a time.  I'd love it if I could set up a hot key or menu item that iterates over each waveform displayed in the current window and makes them invisible.

I've not really had any luck in digging through the manual to try and find any functions that give me access to the displayed traces and the ability to turn on/off visibility.  Does anyone have an example of accessing those objects that they could share?

Thanks in advance.

  •    I have a question that is in the same area. I would like to be able to click on a signal in the Viva graph and have the corresponding net highlight with the same color as in the graph. To do that, I need a trigger to know when the signal was selected, and I would need to be able to query the color of that signal. I have reviewed all the awv... methods in the documentation but I don't see any way of determining the current color (or y0-y66 layer) of the plotting signal.  I can easily get the list of signals using the commands listed above but it only returns two lists; one being the wave id number, and the other being the name associated with that wave ID.

      This is for a helper tools that must operate outside of the ADE environment.  So are there triggers that we can register code with? Is there a generic way to query the signal plotted and it's color?

  • Unfortunately the answer is no currently. This isn't possible.
