I have often used FDTD module in the past, and scripting seems to be one of the best features of Lumerical. <\/p>\n

In Interconnect, it seems similar, although with some differences. <\/p>\n

I would like to import some data into the "Scripted" element in Interconnect, which I would like to use with the script inside. <\/p>\n

If I understand correctly, we need to create a new property (inside "Property Editor" of that element), and use it as the mediation. I did something like this:<\/p>\n

addproperty("SCRIPTED_1","new_property","scripted","FileOpen",0,100,"Dimensionless");<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And subsequently I loaded a file.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I have not been able to import the data stored inside, as the command " ?new_property " outputs me the just the name of the parameter, while I would like to read the content. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I have also tried to import the data by creating a matrix with 3 columns, and then creating the property:<\/p>\n

addproperty("SCRIPTED_1","imported_Pin_vs_PGain","general","Matrix",0,100,"NonQuantity");<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Thus, I would like a suggestion about the best way to approach this issue about importing data inside Scripted elements. I am pretty sure that there are many ways to approach it, but I guess I am missing something. <\/p>\n

Also, what may be the best practice? Ideally, just like I used to do in FDTD, I would like to create fully automated scripts, where no clicking is involved for the simulations. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
