Getting x and y limits from waveform

dragank said:

Is there a way to get: xmin, xmax, ymin and ymax from waveform?

Er, that would be the xmin, xmax, ymin and functions!

Or if you wanted to find the first and last y value, that would be firstVal and lastVal, or first and last x value, that would be firstVal and lastVal of the xval() of the waveform.

Thank you.

I remembered that I saw function to decompose waveform to x and y vectors.

In which manual can I find:xmin, xmax, ymin and functions ?

They are covered in both the OCEAN Reference and the ViVA SKILL manual. Or you could find them in the ViVA calculator function panel and do right mouse->help. Or search in cdsFinder and then use the "more info" button to take you to the manual.

I am not finding them im ViVA SKILL manual and I am limited with SKILL (no OCEAN).

Well, the help menus I mentioned would have found them, as would even going to the Help menu in the CIW and typing "xmax" in the search box at the top. 

They are definitely in the Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis XL User Guide in the Calculator Functions chapter (apologies, I said "ViVA SKILL manual" which is not a separate thing). I even looked in IC614 (so very old) and they are there.

I have no idea what you mean by "I am limited with SKILL (no OCEAN)". OCEAN is just a name for a group of SKILL functions intended for simulation control and analysis. It's not a separate language.

Andrew.

Isn't ".il" file suffix scoped only to SKILL, so I can not use OCEAN functions?

Search by "xmin" in "Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis XL SKILL Reference" gives no results.

I am now searching for "Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis XL User Guide"

Thank You.

As I said, I made a mistake as to which manual this was in. That's why doing a search in the help system is the best approach or using the help from the calculator. I'd used cdsFinder, found "xmin" and it indicated it as being in "VIVA SKILL" but that is not the manual name (that was my mistake; it's just the category of SKILL function for the finder). The more info button took me to the right manual though.

No.

There's nothing special about the suffix .il. It's no different from .txt or pretty much any other suffix (the only special suffices are ".ils" and ".ilse" which are to indicate that SKILL++ semantics should be used). Whatever the suffix, it doesn't limit what functions you can call.

Thank You.

I've found functions in "OCEAN Reference".

They are definitely in the VIVA user guide too, and have been for years. Anyway, I've given numerous ways of finding them - glad you found them using one of the methods.
