How to retrieve variables and outputs for multiple test benches in ADE maestro view

mschw

Hello everyone,

I tried to apply the script CCSRetrieveVarfromMaestro provided on Cadence Support .

Unfortunately, the function does not print the contents of the ADE view to the CIW.
CCSRetrieveVarfromMaestro("testlib" "testcell" "maestro")
"--------------------------------------------------- "
"Extracing the local and sweep design varialbes ... "
"----------------------------------------- "
"Extracing the global design varialbes ... "
"Extracing the design varialbes is completed...

When I open the view graphically in the Assembler, everything works as expected:

CCSRetrieveVarfromMaestro("testlib" "testcell" "maestro")
INFO (ASSEMBLER-9072): The 'testlib/testcell/maestro' cellview is already open in the 'a' mode. It will not be opened again.
"--------------------------------------------------- "
"Extracing the local and sweep design varialbes ... "
Testbench: "resdiv"
local/sweep variable "R0" = "1k"
local/sweep variable "R1" = "1k"
Output from "resdiv"
("V_I" nil "V_O" nil "V_O_swp")
Testbench: "lowpass"
Output from "lowpass"
("v_O_sin" nil "v_I_sin" nil "v_O_ac" "v_O_ac_dB" "v_O_ac_phase")
"----------------------------------------- "
"Extracing the global design varialbes ... "
Global Variable "R0" = "1k"
Global Variable "R1" = "1k"
"Extracing the design varialbes is completed... "

The problem seems to be that the 3rd line in the function
list_setup=maeGetSetup()
returns a different result in these two cases.

I modified the script by changing the 3rd line to
list_setup=maeGetSetup(?session mySession)
but unfortunately that did not change anything.

Currently, I'm using ISR 31.

What do I need to add to the script that the script behaves correctly, even if I do not open the view graphically?

Many thanks!

Regards,
Matthias

  • Matthias,

    Initially I was offended by the spelling mistakes in the code in that article, and also it's not a particularly clean implementation so I rewrote it (not entirely - I kept the output formatting broadly similar). I've passed that along via a request to update the article (it's not my article) - so the updated code should appear shortly on the support site.

    However, I tried what you did with the code as-is, and it worked OK. It's not obvious why it would be failing - the best route would be to contact customer support (maybe the new version I wrote will fix the problem?)

    Matthias,

    The article has now been updated, by the way.

    Dear Andrew,

    thanks for spending your time in updating the article.

    However, even the new implementation fails to print the contents to the CIW.

    It seems that the project I'm currently working on is not setup properly.
    I went back to an older project - there everything works as expected.

    I will have a closer look on the project setup before I contact customer support.

    Many thanks!

    Regards,
    Matthias
