Identifying Different Types of Design Variables - sweep, config etc.

Upasana Acharya

Hi there, 

Are there any SKILL functions available that help distinguish between the types of design variables? I want to extract only certain type of design variables from what is already under the test in maestro ADE assembler. Would I have to use the 'if' function? 

Many thanks

  • I'm not sure what you mean by "type" - your title talks about sweep, config etc but the text says you just want to find "only certain type of design variables from what is under the test". There are no different "types" of variables (you can't have config sweep variables as a design variable anyway).

    To get test variables, you'd do:

    axlSess=axlGetWindowSession()
    sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(axlSess)
    test=axlGetTest(sdb "testName")
    varNames=cadr(axlGetVars(test))
    varNamesAndValues=foreach(mapcar varName varNames
      list(varName axlGetVarValue(axlGetVar(test varName)))
    )

    as an example...

    Hi Andrew, Thank you for the quick response! 

    What I meant by 'types of variables' is: 

    1. For example, VDD = "0.97 0.99 0.65", that would be a sweep variable. 
    2. VDD = calcVal( xyzzy), that would be a calcVal variable 
    3. If 2 sweep variables are group to to be a parametric set, that would be considered a different type as well 

    What existing SKILL functions can I use to differentiate between variables like this other can regex and the if function?

    I don't believe there are any public SKILL functions to distinguish variables in this way. They are certainly not different types in the implementation.
