Displaying special characters in the Units column in the Assembler 'Outputs Setup'

pbanens over 6 years ago

In my assembler testbench I am trying to display units that are not regular ascii characters.

In one particular case it would be nice to display 'pA per root Hertz' as pA/???Hz, where ??? is the square root symbol

In the 'Outputs Setup' tab I would put the 'p' in the Suffix column and the rest in the Units column.

Although printf("A/\342\210\232") will correctly display in the CIW, entering A/\342\210\232 directly in the Units column or by loading it by a CSV file does not work.

It is displayed literally.

As I am reading these units from some specifications it would be awkward to have to deal with the non-ascii code (I already have modified the unicode to be in octal byte format).

It there a way to get these octal bytes interpreted?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Good to hear from you!

Unfortunately Unicode (specifically UTF-8 which is what you're using in this case) is not supported throughout the UI, so this is not possible.

Regards,

Andrew.

Oh well

Thanks Andrew

After I posted the ticked I tried axlOutputPutUnits and the three octal bytes were interpreted individually.

I guess I'll make a lookup table to replace any (common) unicode characters with text.
