sync corners tool output with ADE outputs

MarkSummers

When the IC5.1 corners tool is first brought up from ADE window, the outputs from the ADE window

are present.  However I can't find which skill code does this.  Does anyone know what this is.  I would

like to be able to bring these outputs over after the tool has been started.

    Either this is a coincidence or two related people asking similar questions - this post looks as if it is coming from the same perspective - /forums/p/16884/1179107.aspx#1179107

    There is a SKILL function (actually private, but given that it's obsolete after IC5141 I don't mind mentioning it - especially as it doesn't work ;-> )  corLoadMeasFromSimUI(simID) which is used to send the outputs across to the Corners tool before it starts. However, it has no effect after the Corners tool starts - so it doesn't solve your problem.

    Fundamentally the issue is that the corners tool is a separate UI in a separate process (written in Java). There is nothing (I believe) to push information from the main icfb session into the corners tool - the API is the other way around - the Java tool can call functions in the main icfb session. So this would require there to be a menu or button in the corners tool to pull the expressions from the ADE outputs, and this does not exist.

    Since the corners tool is replaced in IC61 by ADE XL, which only has a single place to describe the outputs, this becomes a non-issue going forward.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
