Is there a way to access values from the probes assistant through SKILL?

ZN202407237855 over 1 year ago

Hello,

I'm trying to use the paths provided by the probes assistant in my skill code. Is there a good way to access this data?

Right now I have some code that saves it to a file which is clearly not an intend way to do this:

deleteFile("tmp.csv")
window = atoi(cadr(parseString(lsprintf("%s" hiGetCurrentWindow()) ":")))
_deUpdateWindowMenu(concat('schWindowMenu window) window)
pre = AssistSlider2->NTAssistant->checked
AssistSlider2->NTAssistant->checked=t
_ntNtSetTypeFilter(_ntFromCurrentWindow() "Load" t)
_ntNtSetTypeFilter(_ntFromCurrentWindow() "Driver" t)
_ntNtSetTypeFilter(_ntFromCurrentWindow() "InOut" t)
_ntNtSetTypeFilter(_ntFromCurrentWindow() "Net" t)
;; Hide other probes
_ntDisableAllProbes(_ntFromCurrentWindow())
_ntNtSetProbeChecked(_ntFromCurrentWindow() lsprintf("%s (%s)" netPPath probe~>probeName) t)
hiRegTimer("(hiFileDialogSetSelection ntSaveTableDialog '(\".\" \"tmp.csv\") 'done)" 2)
hiRegTimer("(hiFileDialogDone ntSaveTableDialog t)" 4)
_ntSaveTable(_ntFromCurrentWindow())
hiRegTimer("getNetConsAsistant_postSave()" 8)

Thank you!

Best.

Zack,

You can select the probed objects in the assistant and then use hsmGetSelectedSet(), but other than that there aren't really any APIs for interacting with the probe assistant.

The other approach is to use schTraceNet - see Virtuoso Video Diary: schTraceNet, a Simple Solution to Complex Questions!

I agree, the approach you've used isn't really clean and is likely to break very easily.

Thank you.

hsmGetSelectedSet would require to much human interaction to really be useful for my purpose.

I'll play around with schTraceNet and see what I can get working.
