Inconsistency in maestro result DB using SKILL

KGh94

Hello,

I have two maestro views from which I extract my outputs using SKILL. Each view is in a different virtuoso version. The SKILL code used is the same in both versions:

; get session Id
sessId = maeOpenSetup(myLib myCell "maestro")

; get result DB
resDB = maeReadResDB(?historyName myHistory ?session sessId)

; select one arbitrary point and corner
point = car(resDB->points())
corner = car(point->corners())

; iterate tests and outputs
foreach(test corner->tests()
    foreach(output test->outputs()
        ; evaluate wave outputs
        when(output->value == "wave" myWave = calcVal(output->name test->name)
            print(myWave)
        )
    )
)

This works for one version of virtuoso and extracts the waves of all tests and corners across all points and corners. The other version has two problems:

  1. Outputs of only one test can be accessed using a single point (i.e. outputs are separated throughout the points)
  2. print(myWave) prints nil. In the maestro GUI I am able to view the plots without any problem

Is there a way to make both versions behave the same (e.g. an environment variable?). Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Karam

    Hi Karam,

    Are we supposed to guess which versions you're using? i.e. the version that works and the version that doesn't? I for one am not going to do lots of experiments to try to figure if there's a version dependency on this working or not, or whether it's down to something else. If I knew the versions, I might be rather more inclined to experiment (it's been a long week, so excuse me being blunt).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hello Andrew,

    Thank you for your reply. I thought you might be aware of this, but no need to guess the versions Slight smile The code works on 12.3-64b.8 and doesn't work on 12.3-64b.500.20.

    Apologies for the lack of info. It's been a long week here as well

    Best regards,
    Karam
