How to get Crystal, Fuse and Oscillators Ratings?

eDaNoy
Hello everyone, I am a new to skill programming, i been working as a pcb design layout engr since i have a little knowledge of programming, i would like to make things easier by making a skill to a certain task, i am doing silkscreen and fuse and crystal ratings are one of the most important details that should be correct, i would like to check if my partner added the right ratings, I have already extracted the added text (board geometry/silkscreen top and bottom), i also extracted all the components that should have a ratings refdes: X for crystal and F for fuse, but i cant get the package ratings, example xxx-25A-xxxx, 25A stands for 25amps i am using cadence allegro 16.2

  • Hi

    If it is a property that holds these values you can get it very easy, pseudo code below, replace comp_type with whatever property holds the rating etc.

    l_components= axlDBGetDesign()->components   ; get a list of all components

    foreach(compid l_components  ; run through all components

      c_comp_type=compid->compdef->prop->COMP_TYPE ; get property

    ) 

     

    Best regards

  • Thanks Ejlersen, i am excited to try this one, thanks to you, i'll let you know the result tomorrow, by looking to your pseudo code,i could say, i was almost there when trying to solve my problem, im ending up to the prop only, maybe that is why i cant get the result that i want. correct me if im wrong, prop holds dbid also? maybe one of those holds the value... but when im checking it thru telskill compRatings=compid->compdef->prop->? it says it is a "nil" anyways i'll try again...thanks again

  • Hi

    If you have a small sample board with just 1 component then you can attach it and I'll see what I can do.

  • Hi Ole, I've a similar problem to solve.

    I need to show values stored in some key properties (like VALUE) and for a "custom-defined" property (Hyperlink) injected from the PTF file into components. 

    I've tried but seems that I use a wrong name for the property I've to extract.

    where it can be find a list of all properties that can be managed by skill functions?

    Many thanks & best regards

  • @GraF:  Try "comp_def_props = axlDBGetProperties(compid->compdef)" where compid is a component dbid.
