ModelSim PE Graphic Interface Getting Started with ModelSim PE
Transcript window
The Transcript window is the first window to appear when you use Model
Sim
. If you tend to
use the menus to control Model
Sim
, you can almost ignore the Transcript window; just think
of it as the place where your menu commands are recorded. If on the other hand, you are
command-line oriented, then you can use the Transcript window to control most Model
Sim
functions. Even for GUI types, sometimes it’s simpler to type a
run
than to reach for the mouse
and hunt down the equivalent menu bar command.
Transcript window status bar
The Transcript window status bar has three fields that display different information depending
on the current Model
Sim
task. When the application is first started, the status bar shows:
• the application name “Model
Sim
PE/ (PLUS, VLOG or VHDL)” in the first field (on the
left)
• nothing in the second field
