how to use signal name in calc expressions rather than its whole path ?

Hi

If I have one signal saved in ADE assembler. I named this signal as sig1. It has long hierarchical path. Is there way I can use signal name "sig1" in calculator instead of long hierarchical name ?

Thanks

    You can't just name a "signal" and then refer to it in the calculator, mainly because it would be ambiguous. If you add an output signal then it will plot the DC, AC or Transient waveform (possibly all three) depending on which analyses you've run, whereas an expression is typically designed to work with the data from a specific analysis.

    What you can do is add an output called "myOut" and have it set to an expression such as VT("/some/long/hierarchical/node") and then use myOut in the other expressions.
