This causes the List window to display the signals clk, rst and count as well as the current
simulation time. (The same effect could be achieved by typing
list -r *
.)
If you desired, you could invoke these commands to display individual signals by specifying
the signal names instead of the
*
wildcard or by selecting
Signals > Add to List > Selected
Signals
from the pulldown menus.
Notice that whenever you type a command in Model
Sim
it appears in the Transcript window.
This is true regardless of which window you have currently active.
Step 14.
At this point why not take a moment to customize your window positions and sizes. Try to
dedicate the most screen-space to the Transcript, Wave, Source and List windows.
Note:
As you become familiar with the Model
Sim
environment you will find yourself using some
windows more than others. You can easily make more room for yourself in the application
window by minimizing some of the Model
Sim
windows you don’t currently need.
Step 15.
When you are happy with your work, pull down
Window > Settings
to be sure your changes
will be saved into the
modelsim.ini
file. Make your selections as in this illustration.
Step 16.
Click
RUN
on the toolbar.
This causes the simulation to run for the default simulation length, 100ns. (The default
simulation run length can be changed with Options > Simulation Options from
the menu bar.)
