adding Point marker using ocean or skill commands

Hi All,

I have read the previous posts on adding a point marker on a transient plot using ocean or skill commands and from all those older posts I could see that there is no specific command for point marker. I wanted to know if cadence implemented any new ocean/skill command for that point marker recently.

Actually, this can be done - it was fixed in IC6.1.6 timeframe, and you can use the (rather non-obviously named) awvPlaceWaveformLabel or addWaveLabel functions:

sig=v("n1" ?result 'tran)
plot(sig)
awvPlaceWaveformLabel( awvGetCurrentWindow() 1 list( 1.2u value(sig 1.2u) ) "MyMarker %X %Y" nil)

or

addWaveLabel(1 list(1.2u 200m) "PointMarker %X %Y" ?textOffset t)

Note that with the addWaveLabel simpler function, you need to pass ?textOffset t otherwise it adds it as a label not a point marker.

Andrew, thanks for your reply. In the command you mentioned 'addWaveLabel(1 list(1.2u 200m) "PointMarker %X %Y" ?textOffset t)' -> "1", indicates the waveform ID. Is there a way to set this waveform ID for a particular waveform through any command?

The numbers are an old handle way of referring to a specific waveform, which is a hangover from the way it was done in an older waveform tool. Unfortunately there's not a more direct "object" way of doing it (yet - maybe one day).

You can find out the relationship between the numbers and the expressions of the waveforms in the current waveform window by doing:

awvGetWaveNameList(awvGetCurrentWindow())
