VirSim Overview
Hierarchy Browser
The Hierarchy Browser displays the design as modules that are color
coded to distinguish the different types of modules in the design (see
Figure 1-2, Sample Hierarchy Browser. Navigate up and down the
design by pointing and clicking on modules and defining roots in the
hierarchy tree. When you select a scope, the Signal Select pane can
filter and list the internal signals for that scope. You can display objects
in other windows by dragging either modules or selected signals from
the Hierarchy Browser. If you do not use a configuration file, VirSim
opens at the Hierarchy Browser.
