VIVA Calculator function to get the all outputs and apply a procedure to all of them

This is my initial trial. It works when I load into CIW but when added as custom function to calculator, it doesn't get session number:

            sess=axlGetWindowSession()
            sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(sess)
            enabledTest=nth(0 setof(testName cadr(axlGetTests(sdb))
                         axlGetEnabled(axlGetTest(sdb testName))
                        ))
            psfDir=axlGetPointPsfDir(axlGetHistoryEntry(sdb axlGetHistoryName(axlGetCurrentHistory(sess))) enabledTest)
            openResults(psfDir)
            
            selectResults('tran)
            outSig = outputs(?map nil)

It's far from clear to me why this would be useful to have as a calculator function. For a start, calculator functions produce a scalar, waveform or family of waveforms from (mostly) existing waveforms and other data (occasionally they'll do so by reading data from disk somewhere). In this case, what's the output going to be?

Similarly, they are normally not responsible for opening the database - ViVA is running with some data context (the calculator will show you that at the top, and depends on whether the calculator was opened via the right mouse button over a specific point, or from the ADE XL/Assembler pulldown menus - in which case it is looking at the complete set of results (normally for a specific test though). So I wouldn't expect it to need to open the results in the fashion you've shown here.

So what is the goal? What are you expecting it to do in the calculator itself? I know you've set you want to look at all the duty cycles or edge rates, but how are the results going to be returned in the calculator?

Hi Andrew,

The output of the procedure will be a wave. I have attached all procedure for the duty cycle. I have some pcreMatchList and setof functions to filter clock or/and to look at some signals only in a block. In the below example, My block name has "dcc" word inside so I am looking at duty-cycle of all toggling signals inside that cell without writing 24(signal number, x-axis in below image) output expressions with a single expression. Then, I am only looking at the outliers.

Note: There is a linspace function inside which is a custom one similar to matlab's linspace function.

procedure(plotDcy(sigList vcross tstart tend @optional (rex "f"))
    let( (sigFilter dcyList i sigClip dutyCyc dutyCycMin dutyCycMac dcyWave dutyCycWC outSig patRex)
    printf("Inside the function %L \n" getWorkingDir())
    if( rex != "f"
      then
            sess=axlGetWindowSession()
            sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(sess)
            enabledTest=nth(0 setof(testName cadr(axlGetTests(sdb))
                         axlGetEnabled(axlGetTest(sdb testName))
                        ))
            psfDir=axlGetPointPsfDir(axlGetHistoryEntry(sdb axlGetHistoryName(axlGetCurrentHistory(sess))) enabledTest)
            openResults(psfDir)
            
            selectResults('tran)
            outSig = outputs(?map nil)

            patRex = pcreCompile(rex)
            sigList = pcreMatchList(patRex outSig)
      )

    ;;;; Rising Cross 25% higher of vcross and falling cross 25% lower of vcross
    sigFilter = setof(x sigList cross(clip(v(x) tstart tend) 0.75*vcross 1 "falling"))
    sigFilter = setof(x sigFilter cross(clip(v(x) tstart tend) 1.25*vcross 1 "rising"))
    
    dcyList = list(nil)
    i = 1

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; HEADER ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    printf("Signal Number, Signal Name, Duty-Cycle\n")
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    foreach(s sigFilter
        sigClip = clip(v(s) tstart tend)
        dutyCyc = dutyCycle(sigClip ?mode "user" ?threshold vcross ?xName "time"   ?outputType "plot")
        
        dutyCycMin = ymin(dutyCyc)
        dutyCycMax = ymax(dutyCyc)
        if(abs(dutyCycMax-50)>abs(dutyCycMin-50) dutyCycWC=dutyCycMax dutyCycWC=dutyCycMin)

        printf("%d, %s, %.2f \n" i s dutyCycWC)

        tconc(dcyList dutyCycWC)
        i++
    );foreach
        
    dcyList = car(dcyList)

    dcyWave = artListToWaveform(mapcar('list linspace(1 length(dcyList) length(dcyList)) dcyList))

    dcyWave
    );let
);procedure

I noticed one more thing in your reply. I am opening VIVA from adexl run as you mentioned so related psf result directory is shown as Context Result DB in Viva.

This(opening result and outputs()) is how I was reading all the saved signals when I am not using VIVA custom function(when using ocn expression as the output expression) . If there are other ways to read all signals without opening the result directory as I am doing, that should be fine as well since the main goal of that is to read all saved signals.

Thanks
