APPENDIX J Thrift

Thrift enables automation of creation of schematics and updating schematics. Refer thrift documentation at https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sigmastudiov2/usingsigmastudio/scripting?s[]=thrift for generic APIs which can be used with A2B as well as SigmaStudio+. The following section introduces APIs specific to A2B and this in addition to the one’s available at the website mentioned above.

Note :- Documentation for A2B thrift will be uploaded to wiki.analog.com in the future releases. Any further updates to A2B thrift documentation will be provided at this domain.

A UID is a unique identifier string used extensively in thrift to identify the desired entity. It has the format <name>_<zero-based-positive-integer>. For instance “EvalAD2433WB1BZ_0”. To know the UID of any entity, use the GetAllPlugins API (refer the link above) to get a full list of plugins loaded by SS+. Then filter this list for A2B plugins by referring to J.3A2B Shape full names. Now from this list, the string after the last ‘.’ without the _v<version> will be the <name> in the UID string. The integer part of UID must always be incremented for every shape added using a particular <name>.

For instance, one of the items you would get from GetAllPlugins API is “AnalogDevices.Plugins.Platforms.EvalAD2433WA1BZ_v2.0.0.0”. From this the UID <name> will be EvalAD2433WA1BZ. For the first EvalAD2433WA1BZ shape added to the system, it’s UID will be EvalAD2433WA1BZ_0. For the second shape it will be EvalAD2433WA1BZ_1 and so on.

Shape operations

Add Shape

After referring to https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sigmastudiov2/usingsigmastudio/scripting/addshape, for A2B the following additional information is applicable.

  1. parentUID
    1. To add a shape to system tab this should be “Diagram_0”
    2. To add a shape inside an A2B platform, this should be the platform uid. For instance, use “EvalAD2428WD1BZ_<zero based positive integer>” to add a shape inside the EvalAD2428WD1BZ platform.
  2. shapeFullName – refer J.3 A2B Shape full names
  3. newPosition – this object has two members X and Y which represent horizontal and vertical coordinates respectively on the canvas.

Remove shape

Refer https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sigmastudiov2/usingsigmastudio/scripting/removeshape followed by J.1.1 Add Shape

Add Connection

Refer https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sigmastudiov2/usingsigmastudio/scripting/addconnection. In addition, the following information is applicable.

  1. channelFullName – refer Table 7: Plugin full names

Remove connection

Refer https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sigmastudiov2/usingsigmastudio/scripting/removeconnection followed by J.1.3 Add Connection.
