Skill function for drawing SubTitle in Cadence Wavescan
Dec 10th, 2008, 1:06am
 
Any expert of Cadence tools.

I have question about skill function for Cadence Wavescan in ADE.

In Cadence AWD, I use the following skill function to draw titles.
    addTitle("AHO")
    addSubwindowTitle("BOKE")

But in Cadence Wavescan "AHO" is drawn in title bar in window.
In Cadence Wavescan, there is another title called SubTitle.
This SubTitle is drawn under "BOKE".
There is no SubTitle in Cadence AWD.

Here my qustion is what skill function is available for drawing SubTitle in Cadence Wavescan.

Any expert of Cadence tools, teach me.

I've been promised by Cadence folks (prior to the layoff) that all of these functions are now well documented.. [I Managed to discover most of these for AWD, and published much in my appnote on using OCEAN] but once Wavescan came out, I asked many times to have the equivalent documentation assembled ( or for time to put it together ) .. without success, I became a customer at a startup, and was told that my old script did not crash with Wavescan ( but it didn't print the subtitles either!!!)

Now I'm a customer at a larger company, and complained about this again, and have been assured that all the needed documentation is forthcoming any day now.  but I've not seen it, so I just use AWD for autogenerated plots.  Maybe we can get this all to work in IC6.1 someday..

I'd contact the cadence help desk (or look on sourcelink ) for this kind of answer..

I'm slightly confused by this question - the function addSubwindowTitle() adds a subwindow title in both AWD and Wavescan (I just checked), so what are you actually asking for here?

No.

If you execute following, you can draw "AHO" and "BOKE".
But there is no skill function to draw "KASU".

Also I noticed that awvSetOptionValue('dateStamp t) doesn't work in Wavescan.

Quote:
ocnWaveformTool('wavescan)

Date = getCurrentTime();
base_dir = getWorkingDir();

awvSetOptionValue('dateStamp t);
awvSetOptionValue('displayGrids t);
awvSetOptionValue("cursorPrecision" 9);
awvSetOptionValue("displayAxesBy125" t);

pi = acos(-1.0);
j = complex(0.0, 1.0);

t_end = 4*pi/2;

time_list = linRg(0.0, t_end, t_end/100);
n_time = length(time_list);
time_vec = drCreateVec( 'double time_list );

z = drCreateVec('doublecomplex n_time);

wid = newWindow();
addTitle("AHO");
bid = currentSubwindow(1);
addSubwindowTitle( "BOKE" );

a1 = 1.0;
a3_list=list(0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3);

foreach(a3, a3_list;
  z = a1*exp(j*time_vec) + a3*exp(-j*7*time_vec);
  x = real(z);
  y = imag(z);
  plot( drCreateWaveform(x, y), ?expr list(sprintf(nil, "a3=%g", a3)) );
)

awvSetXAxisLabel(wid, "Real[z]",  ?subwindow bid);
awvSetYAxisLabel(wid, 1, "Imag[z]", ?subwindow bid);

xLimit( list(-2*a1, 2*a1) );
yLimit( list(-2*a1, 2*a1) );

OK, I understand now. Please contact Cadence Customer support, and ask for an enhancement to be filed to add a function to specify this - effectively it needs a sub-sub-title, given that the title is the window title, and the "title" is used for the subtitle!

I could do this, but it will get more weight if it is tied in to an actual customer (and I can't add it for you since I don't know who you really are...)

Thanks,

Andrew.
