Is there a way to assign states to output channels without knowing the state index/number?

Greetings,

The STATE_CHANNEL command lets you assign states (e.g. motor slip) to output channels for dynamic simulation. However, it requires as its input the "index" of the state you want to see -- basically, as you add models to the system, their states are appended to a single big list, and PSSe wants to know where in that list the requested state is.

Obviously, the index of a given state may change as you add or remove other models. So I was wondering, is there a way to identify a state by meaningful parameters, e.g. "give me the Nth state of model X at bus Y"? I hate having to slog through DOCU output to note the state numbers every time I change something about my modelling setup.

Many thanks in advance!
