Working on Assembler Outputs and Results with Skill

Brad RFeng

Hi,

axlGetOutputUserDefinedData() can be used to return data in a user defined column in the Assembler Outputs Setup.
e.g.
myUDD=axlGetOutputUserDefinedData(x_mainSDB "Test" "Name" "myUDD")

How can I get the state of the Plot and Save buttons in the Outputs Setup? I would assume there are functions similar to axlGetOutputPlot(x_mainSDB "Test" "Name") and axlGetOutputSave(x_mainSDB "Test" "Name").

A related question -
rdb->outputs()~>name will return all of the outputs listed in the Outputs Setup table.

e.g.
winsession = axlGetWindowSession(hiGetCurrentWindow())
sessionNum = axlGetSessionWindowNumber(axlGetWindowSession())
historyname=axlGetHistoryName(axlGetCurrentHistory(winsession))
x_mainSDB = axlGetMainSetupDB(winsession)
x_history=axlGetHistoryEntry(x_mainSDB historyname)
rdbPath=axlGetHistoryResults(x_history)
rdb=axlReadResDB(rdbPath)
rdb->outputs()~>name

How can I get the output names listed in Results table? Typically the Results table has fewer items since only expressions that have the Plot button checked will show up in the Results table and similarly signals need to have the Save button checked to show up in the Results table.

Regards,

Brad

  • Hi Brad,

    If you're using ADE Assembler, you can use the "mae" functions which simplify matters. For example, you can do:

    outputs=maeGetTestOutputs()

    and then:

    outputs~>name ; the name of each output (if there is one)
    outputs~>signal ; for signals, that will be completed
    outputs~>expression 
    outputs~>plot
    outputs~>save

    In essence, each member of the list is an object with various relevant slots you can find out information about the outputs on the Outputs Setup tab.

    No, it actually returns all of the outputs in the Results tab, You can get it more easily using:

    rdb=maeReadResDB()

    then rdb~>outputs()~>name will give you all plotted results (or saved signals) (of course, with sweeps you'll get repetitions, but you'd need to determine which corner/point etc you want).

    That's very helpful. Thanks Andrew!
