This chapter provides a reference to the Model
Sim
windows you will use to examine and debug
your VHDL and Verilog designs.
Terms
The Model
Sim
PE/PLUS environment makes use of the Microsoft Windows conventions and
vocabulary for windows, menus, mouse buttons, icons, etc. If you’re not familiar with these,
please work through the Windows tutorial provided by Microsoft. In this chapter, the term
application window
is used as it is defined by Microsoft; it is the window in which Model
Sim
is running. The windows created by Model
Sim
within the application window are simply called
windows
.
