a procedure to generate a binary waveform for plot

What do you mean by a "binary displayed waveform"?

Hi. The equivalent of looking at Analog To Digital in VIVA, of a bus, and then display, with a binary radix. I want to input a few waveforms and get their name

You can do this with awvCreateBus() - the third argument is the radix to use. Note that there was a bug where the radix wasn't being honoured but that was fixed in IC6.1.7/ICADV12.3 ISR12, so some time ago.

Hi Andrew. It looks From the documentation, it appears that a bus is created, but it does not say how is that displayed, or if it can be fed to subsequent OCEAN code. It returns no value. and I would like it to behave as an Output Expression in Maestro, in the sense that one can right-click it, and re-display, at will. This usually happens if the OCEAN code returns a waveform or a scalar.

In the VIVA SKILL manual it says that it returns an o_bus.

Did you try it? I didn't really have time today, but quickly put together an example showing that it works perfectly in a Explorer output expression. Add the attached library to your cds.lib and then open LDIL/busexample/maestro and run the simulation.

In the VIVA documentation it is indeed stated returns a value, in  OCEAN it is stated that the function does not return any value, which is odd for a functional language. I am writing the code s we speak. Thanks.

In SKILL, every function returns something, so that's clearly an error in the OCEAN manual. Unfortunately many of the functions in the OCEAN documentation are a replica of functions documented elsewhere, but sometimes something went wrong when copying from one to another, or they got fixed in one place and not the other.

Hi A.
It works like a charm. I did not use your code, just tool the function, and assumed that the manual's entry about the return value was wrong. May I suggest a CCR for the manual?

The best thing is to use the “Feedback” on either the manual page in support.cadence.com or within cdnshelp. That will generate a task to get the documentation fixed.
