Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

Hi,
I'm looking to add some user-defined functions to the Wavescan Calculator. I noticed there's a filter pull-down menu on the bottom-right corner of the calc that allows this. I'd like to add some stability factors (besides the built-in K and B1 factors). Has anyone added their own functions?  Can you give me some tips on how to get started? I'm assuming I'll have to write this in SKILL.

The arguments for my equations are s-parameters, so I don't think I'd need to ask the user for any inputs. The user would just have to run an SP analysis and the stability factor would be plotted using that information.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Did you go over the section in the Wavescan user guide called "Defining New Functions Using SKILL in ADE"? There is a SKILL example that goes over callbacks and forms.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did go over that Section and copied in the example. I was just hoping someone might have some suggestions or lessons learned based on experience.

Another question/comment....I noticed that the old AWD calc uses a stack (with x-y exchange, rotate up/down buttons) to build expressions. From what I can see, the new Wavescan calc uses "memories". Are both styles of calculators going to be supported or is AWD eventually going to go away? To create expressions for calCalcInput (), I set my log filter to show menu command outputs. This shows me the syntax as I press various buttons in AWD calc, but not for the Wavescan calc.

Thanks,
Scott
