db_get_instance_parm()

Returns a real number, the nominal value of an instance parameter given the parameter name or index (position in list of parameters).

Syntax:

db_get_instance_parm(designName, instHandle [, parameterReference]);

where

designName is the name of the design the instance is in.

instHandle is the instance value handle returned from a function such as db_find_instance().

parameterReference is optional; the name of the parameter. If not supplied, 0.

Example:

decl inst, nomVal;
inst = db_find_instance(de_current_design_name(), 0, "TL1"); /* find TL1 in 
current schematic design */
nomVal = db_get_instance_parm(de_current_design_name(), inst, "W"); /* 
retrieve nominal value of W (width)*/
