18.2 SCL GENERATOR DIALOG
Use the SCL Generator dialog to create synchronous stimulus using the
behind-the-scenes, powerful Simulator Control Language (SCL). If you want to use
only asynchronous stimulus, you may go directly to the Stimulus Controller Dialog to
set this up. Otherwise, create the SCL stimulus file here, and then go to the Stimulus
Controller dialog to attach it.
The SCL Generator dialog allows you to enter stimulus information which is saved in a
file called a workbook. To open a new workbook, select Debugger>SCL Generator>
New Workbook. To open an existing workbook for editing, select Debugger>
SCL Generator>Open Workbook.
The SCL Generator dialog has the tabs listed below. All tabs have the same default unit
values.
• Pin/Register Actions
• Advanced Pin/Register
• Clock Stimulus
• Register Injection
• Register Trace
When setting up multiple tabs, be aware of input interaction (see
Section 18.4 “Stimulus Input Interaction”).
Default Unit Values
For all tabs of the SCL Generator, the following applies:
• Time Units are always in decimal.
• PC values are always in hex.
• Pin values are always either ‘0’ or ‘1’.
• Register values are always in hex.
• Bitfield values are always in binary.
Label Constructs
Labels must be of the format:
alpha[_|alpha|numeric]
where:
• alpha = alphabetic character(s)
• _ = underscore character
• numeric = numeric character(s)
All labels must:
• begin with an alphabetic character
• not end with an underscore (_)
• not include two underscores together
