phoTechIsModePropLocalOnly

phoTechIsModePropLocalOnly(
d_tech
t_waveguideDefName
)
=> t / nil

Description

(ICADVM18.1 Photonics Only) Retrieves the localOnly flag of the modeProp table for the specified waveguideDef. The table is searched only in the local technology database.

Arguments

d_techDB	ID of the technology database in which search is performed.
t_waveguideDefName
	Name of the waveguideDef.

Value Returned

t	The localOnly flag is set.
nil	The localOnly flag is not set, the modeProp data is missing, or an error occurred.

Example

; "hier_top" references "hier_modeProp"

hier_top~>refs~>name

> ("hier_modeProp")

; load oneline.txt as a local only modeProp table phoTechLoadModePropDataTable(hier_top "oneline.txt"

                             ?waveguideDefName "SiN Waveguide"

                             ?overwrite t

                             ?localOnly t)

> t

phoTechIsModePropLocalOnly(hier_top "SiN Waveguide")

> t

; hier_top only has data for mode "TE"

phoTechGetModePropDataTableParamValues(hier_top "SiN Waveguide" 'mode)

> ("TE")

; hier_modeProp has data for modes "TE" and "TM"

phoTechGetModePropDataTableParamValues(hier_modeProp "SiN Waveguide" 'mode)

> ("TE" "TM")

; re-merge hier_modeProp table by setting localOnly to nil phoTechLoadModePropDataTable(hier_top "oneline.txt"

                             ?waveguideDefName "SiN Waveguide"

                             ?overwrite t

                             ?localOnly nil)

> t

phoTechIsModePropLocalOnly(hier_top "SiN Waveguide")

> nil

; hier_top still has data only for the "TE" mode, ; but with localOnly=nil, all getter APIs merge in the "TM" data ; from hier_modeProp.
