Issue/Introduction:

After creating a SpectroWatch, when the seek command is run on the SpectroWatch attribute id, the results are inconsistent. For example, when a simple Integer data type watch is created and set it to inactive by default, the following is seen when the "show watch" command is run on the model:

0xffff0003 Test_Integer Calc INACTIVE

When the seek command is run, the following results are seen, which is what is expected. A value of "0" is inactive and a value of "1" is active:

./seek attr=0xffff0003,val=0
MHandle MName MTypeHnd MTypeName
0x40006c ACKJO04M4800.ca. 0x1160089 Host_Device

./seek attr=0xffff0003,val=1
seek: no models found

When the watch is activated, it is expected a value of "0" to return "no models found" and a value of "1" to show the model where it is active. However, the same results are seen.

Environment:

Any version of Spectrum running on any supported operating system

Resolution:

The seek command was not designed to work with SpectroWatch attributes.
