How to refer a particular source in script for simulation with multiple source?

      Hi, I need a quick help on this error in analysis script

      -->sppump=sourcepower(f,1,'Pump'); # Pump is name for one of the sources 
      error-->in sourcepower: no source named Pump was found
      But when I am just testing it in command prompt, this line works. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

      It might be related to version? I tested using the newest version of FDTD and it works fine:

      f=getdata("CD::T","f");

      sp=sourcepower(f);

      spp=sourcepower(f,1,"source_1");

      Thanks for responding. However it still doesn't work for the script. Is there any alternative way to extract the power info using getdata()?

      I am not sure what do you mean "for the script". I tested a file and it works fine.

      Have you upgraded the software version?  what is your OS version?

      If this hinders your project and could not find a way to resolve, I would suggest that you disable the other source ad then use the default sourcepower to get the specific source result, with the given frequency.
