OCEAN script only works on re-evaluation

imulsion

Hi all,

I have an OCEAN script added to my simulation outputs, which I need to do the following (per corner):

- Detect when a particular signal crosses a threshold

- Take that crossing point and add it to the current corner as one of the corner parameters

Here is what I have:

axlAddOutputs(list("Success/Fail"))
sess = axlGetWindowSession()
sdb = axlGetMainSetupDB(sess)
crnr_name = axlGetCornerNameForCurrentPointInRun()
crnr_handle = axlGetCorner(sdb, crnr_name)

openResults()
trim_val_s = aelEngNotation(round(cross(VS("/vref_out") 1.204 1 "either" nil nil nil)))
putvar = axlPutVar(crnr_handle "trim_val" trim_val_s)
if(putvar == nil then s_f = 0 else s_f = 1)
axlOutputResult(s_f "Success/Fail")

As you can see, it simply updates the current corner by accessing the appropriate corner handle. 

This solution isn't perfect. When I run my simulations, the script always results in eval err when executing axlGetMainSetupDB, because axlGetWindowSession returns nil. However, if I re-evaluate the outputs (all/full as opposed to incremental/partial), the script runs fine and the corners are updated. 

Is there any explanation for why axlGetWindowSession might return nil? Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there a better solution?

I'm on sub-version IC6.1.8-64b.500.31

Many thanks

    Does the use of the following verbose form of the command provide a response of "nil" on the first attempt to run your script?

    axlGetWindowSession( hiGetCurrentWindow())
