Printing waveforms in current plot window in AWD

[Svenn Are Bjerkem]

Hi,

I have a problem printing the waveforms from an AWD window into a
result window.

What I have tried so far:

(setq plotWin (window 5))
(awvPrintWaveform plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList)

Which give me error messages like:
*Error* unknown data type drwave:229167128
one for each waveform in the window.

I then try to assign some waveforms to variables:
(setq w1 (car plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList))
(setq w2 (cadr plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList))
(setq w3 (caddr plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList))
(setq w4 (cadddr plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList))

(awvPrintWaveform w1 w2 w3 w4)

Which works.

plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList alone return
(drwave:229167128 drwave:229167152 drwave:229167176 drwave:229167200
drwave:229167224)
which to me looks like a list.

Finder tells me that awvPrintWaveform needs to have each waveform
listed separately even if the explanatory text claims that it prints a
list, it doesn't, at least not for me.

Then I try:
foreach waveForm plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList
awvPrintWaveform(waveForm)
which works in the sense that it gives me one print window per
waveform. This will give me one file per waveform, and is not quite
what I need.

I need some kind of solution which takes a list of objects and
dissolve them in a sequence of variables. This is probably a lamda or
a mapcar, but I don't get it right.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Hi again,

I was playing around a bit to solve this problem and found a possible
solution:

; First I get the list of all the waves from the wanted waveform
window
(setq wlist (plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList)

;Then I get a list of the x-axis data with sweepValues
; Assuming all waves have same length I just grab from the first wave
in list
setq xlist (sweepValues (car wlist))

; Then I use mapcar to iterate over those x-coordinates and for each
waveform
; extract the y-value at that x with value() and send it off to printf
to get it
(foreach mapcar x xlist (printf "\n%L" x) (foreach mapcar obj l
(printf "\t%L" (value obj x))))

Problem as far as I see is that I get a lot of annoying (t t t) lines
towards the end:
(from CDS.log)
.....
\o 4.981806e-09 0.0008387304 0.0008722564 0.0009083612
\o 4.990903e-09 0.0008422031 0.0008751578 0.0009107513
\t 5e-09 0.0008463219 0.0008790259 0.0009143342((t t t)
\t (t t t)
\t (t t t)
\t (t t t)
....

I guess it is printf which wants to show how successful it was, but I
eventually want to write to file so I probably don't care. I am
looking for a better solution that also is able to print the name of
the waveform at the top. I get this from the awvGetWaveNameList() but
I am not sure if the sequence of waveform expression names are always
the same as the one from plotWin->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]-

plotWaveList. Really took some hours to understand that mapcar
functionality, and hours/codeline is now wandering off to infinity....

I have been fiddling with the script a little bit more and came up
with something that actually can be copy-pasted into your CIW in case
somebody would like to help debugging. I have currently two issues:
1) I get one more heading column than I actually have data for.
2) I do not know if the headings are actually aligned with their data.

I currently don't know the reason for 1)

For 2) I use two different ways of getting the data:
For the header I use the resulting list of awvGetWaveNameList and for
the data I use the awful awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList
which also the awv save state uses. I would have liked to use the
first list of indexes that awvGetWaveNameList spits out, but I have so
far not been able to connect those numbers to the internal data of the
AWD window. I will probably come up with a solution as time goes by,
but I am thankful for any advice that make the search for a solution
easier.

Be careful with monte-carlo plots as excel may choke on too many
columns or rows

Now, here it is:

(hiSetBindKey "awv" "ShiftCtrl<Key>p" "(SABprintWaveform
hiGetCurrentWindow())")
(procedure (SABprintWaveform winId)
(let (fp header x xlist wlist obj)
(setq fp (outfile "printedWaves.txt"))
(setq header (buildString (cadr (awvGetWaveNameList winId)) "\t"))
(fprintf fp "time\t%s" header)
(setq wlist winId->awvWaveInfoDpl->subwinArr[0]->plotWaveList)
(setq xlist (sweepValues (car wlist)))
(foreach mapcar x xlist (fprintf fp "\n%L" x)
(foreach mapcar obj wlist (fprintf fp "\t%L" (value obj x))))
(fprintf fp "\n")
(close fp)
)
)

Well, if you use wavescan, you can simply select the waveforms in the graph, and
hit the table icon and it will "print" them to a table window directly within
the tool...

The only way you are going to get me using Wavescan is to EOL AWD.
