Waveform Window
Printing Waveforms
To access the Print Dialog from the Waveform Window, click left on
the File Menu and choose Print. If multiple Waveform Windows are
displayed, the Print Dialog simply associates with the Waveform
Window from which it is selected.
When using the default Print Dialog settings, printed output is very
similar to what is viewed in the associated Waveform Window, with
the following differences.
• Time-axis display is more elaborate. Default time tick intervals are
always {1, 2, or 5} x 10n and are chosen by VirSim to maximize
the readability and reference value of the output. Time values may
also be vertically staggered in certain cases to allow for more
frequent labels without loss of readability. Also, vertical grid lines
are lightly drawn through the data area to provide more visual
cues.
• All signals in a Group are included in a print job, even those that
are not directly visible in the Waveform Window.
• The Value Pane of the Waveform Window is not printed.
• The Print Dialog provides time display options, which provide
user-control of display and scaling of time-axis values.
This section includes the following information:
• Printing a Time Range
• Distributing a Printout Across Several Pages
