• Use the $vcdpluson system task to generate VPD files. For
more details on this system task, see "System Tasks for VPD
Files" in Appendix D.
If you enable it, the VPD file contains simulation results from the
design. The $vcdplustraceon system task records the order
in which the source code lines are executed. Therefore, you can
see the order in post processing. You can enter these system
tasks either in your Verilog source code or at the CLI prompt using
a different syntax. The default name of the generated VPD file is
vcdplus.vpd.
This chapter describes the simulation history file formats and how
you generate them. It covers the following:
• VPD
• eVCD
