maeOpenSetup is not opening the Assembler window

Hi,

I am trying to use maeOpenSetup to open an existing "maestro" view in ADE Assembler

Here's the command that I use: maeOpenSetup("<LibraryName>" "<CellName>" "maestro" ?application "Assembler")

I see this message on the log "ADE Assembler session 'fnxSession0' started on Tue Jan  4 17:19:57 2022", but the Assembler window is not visible. 

If I try to open the cellview from Library Manager, I get this message: "INFO (ASSEMBLER-1642): Cannot open cellview '<LibraryName>/<CellName>/maestro' in the 'a' mode in a new window because it is already open in the same mode in another window.
*WARNING* (DEBASE-102084): Data trigger for viewType maestro failed."

Any suggestions on this issue would be helpful.

Thank you!

    maeOpenSetup is not intended to open the maestro view in ADE Assembler. It's for opening and running simulations from batch, without a user interface. You can only have a single maestro view open in edit mode at once, whether it's in a window or batch - which is why you can't then re-open interactively (you'd need to use maeCloseSession to close the batch session).

    If you wanted to open interactively, then use geOpen or deOpen - for example:

    geOpen(?lib "opamp090" ?cell "full_diff_opamp" ?view "maestro")
