So this works:

axlAddOutputs(list(
 "d_rf0" "d_rf1" "d_rf2" "d_rf3" "d_rf4" "d_rf5" "d_rf6" "d_rf7" "d_rf8" "d_rf9"
))
for(i 0 9
    axlOutputResult(
        delay(?wf1 vtime('tran "/in0") ?value1 (VAR("vsup") / 2) ?edge1 "rising" ?nth1 -1 ?td1 0.0 ?tol1 nil ?wf2 vtime('tran "/out0") ?value2 (VAR("vsup") / 2) ?edge2 "falling" ?nth2 -1 ?tol2 nil ?td2 nil ?stop nil ?multiple nil)
        sprintf(nil "d_rf%d" i)
    )
)

But this:

outputs = nil
for(i 0 9
    outputs = cons(sprintf(nil "%s%d" "d_rf" i) outputs)
)
axlAddOutputs(outputs)

for(i 0 9
    axlOutputResult(
        delay(?wf1 vtime('tran "/in0") ?value1 (VAR("vsup") / 2) ?edge1 "rising" ?nth1 -1 ?td1 0.0 ?tol1 nil ?wf2 vtime('tran "/out0") ?value2 (VAR("vsup") / 2) ?edge2 "falling" ?nth2 -1 ?tol2 nil ?td2 nil ?stop nil ?multiple nil)
        sprintf(nil "d_rf%d" i)
    )
)

Yields:

*Error* car: argument #1 should be a list (type template = "l") - outputs

By the way why does the software have to be forewarned as to the coming output names? It seems like the axlOutputResult() call contains an expression and [optional] name, shouldn't that be all the information the tool needs to register an output?

In any case is there a way to pass a list variable to axlAddOutputs() that won't throw a cryptic error? I really would rather not type out all 50 of my incrementally-named outputs.

Thanks!

As I mentioned before, the issue here is that the OCEAN script is analysed statically - i.e. not evaluated - at the time the OCEAN script is edited. This then allows any outputs found within the script to be added to the ADE outputs pane so that you can add specs on them. This "static" analysis is done by parsing the file - it doesn't actually run the code though, so loops won't work. It can't just run the code, because at the time the script is edited there may not be any simulation results, and so it would most likely fail.

It's a tricky problem - providing you a scripted way of adding multiple outputs, but needing to add the outputs early so that you can add specifications. There's not really an easy way to automatically handle that except for the case of a literal list of outputs, however inconvenient that might be.
