Hi,
In searching the forums, I found old posts where Andrew Beckett provided code files for abA2DBus, a function that takes an analog bus of signals, e.g., VT("/TreakOscFreq<4:0>) and converts them to a digital bus. In the ADE Explorer outputs list, the signal can then be named. This is a great function to have!
This required saving two files from Andrew's posts, abA2DBus.il and abDumpWaveformsToVCSV (of which only abUnwrapFamily is called). Using the 'fx' button, I made them Custom Functions in the Calculator as shown here:
(Sorry I don't have the links, but searching on these function names brings them up.)
I have 2 questions:
1. This conversion would seem to be a very common thing to do with control bus signals... Is this already, or ever, going to be a native Calculator function? It is so useful it ought to be!
2. The signal plots to ViVA as Hex values. I can manually go change the radix of the signal to something else (like "Signed Decimal"), but is there a function to set the radix ahead of time so it plots to "Signed Decimal", or whatever, without my manual intervention? This too would be a handy function, and I cannot find a way to make it work on the entire waveform. Using numConv(value(... allows the value to be cast to a different radix, but only for a single point in time.
Is there any updates on either of these questions?
Thanks!
