=> t / t_error

Description

Adds an output expression to a test setup.

Arguments

t_sessionName	Name of session
t_testName	Name of test
t_outputName	Name to be assigned to the expression output
?expr t_expr	Expression to be used to calculate the output Default value: ""
?exprDPLs l_exprDPLs	A disembodied property list that provides details of expressions to be added in batch mode. Each output structure can be specified in the following format: 'outputName value 'expr value 'evalType value 'plot value 'save value) Default value: nil
?evalType t_evalType	Evaluation type of the expression     Possible values: "point": Calculates the expression for every design point "corners": Calculates the expression across all the corners "sweeps": Calculates the expression across all the sweep points "maa": Calculates the expression across all the corners and sweep points Default value: "point" "sweeps" and "maa" are applicable only for the maestro cellviews created using ADE Assembler.
?plot g_plot	Specifies whether to plot the output. Default value: t
?save g_save	Specifies whether to save the output. Default value: t

Value Returned

t	Successful addition of output to the test
t_error	Returns an error message if unsuccessful.

Examples

The following example code shows how to use the axlAddOutputExpr function to add outputs for a test:

session = axlGetWindowSession()

=>"session0"

; returns handle to the current session

axlAddOutputExpr(session "AC" "output1" )

=> t

; the above statement adds an expression output, but the expression to be evaluated 

; is not specified. The evaluation type of this output is ’point’

axlAddOutputExpr(session, "AC" "SRp" ?expr "ymax(deriv(VT(\"/OUT\")))" ?evalType "corners" ?plot t ?save t)

; the above statement adds an expression output that evaluates the given expression 

; across corners

The following example code shows how to use the axlAddOutputExpr function to add outputs in batch mode:

session = axlGetWindowSession()

; gets a handle to the session

;; define a DPL for the first output to be added

dpl='(nil)

putprop(dpl "BW" 'outputName)

putprop(dpl "bandwidth(VT(\"/out\") 3 \"low\")" 'expr)

putprop(dpl t 'plot)

; append it to exprs

exprs=append(nil list(dpl))

; define a DPL for the second output to be added

dpl1='(nil)

putprop(dpl1 "Gain" 'outputName)

putprop(dpl1 "value(dB20(mag(VF(\"/OUT\"))))" 'expr)

putprop(dpl1 t 'plot)

; append it to exprs

exprs=append(exprs list(dpl1))

; add the outputs

axlAddOutputExpr(session "opamp090:full_diff_opamp_AC:1" "" ?exprDPLs exprs)

;; this script adds two outputs, BW and Gain, to the setup
