Dataflow window

Getting Started with ModelSim PE ModelSim PE Graphic Interface

Dataflow window

The Dataflow window provides a graphic view of HDL items flowing in and out of processes

during your simulation run, which allows you to trace HDL items through your design. The

window is opened when you use the

Window > Dataflow

menu choices or issue the

view

dataflow

command

For VHDL

, The Dataflow window shows either:

• a signal in the center of the window with all the processes that drive the signal on the left,

and all the processes that read the signal on the right, or

• a process with all the signals read by the process show as inputs on the left of the window,

and all the signals driven by the process on the right.

For Verilog

, The Dataflow window shows either:

• a net in the center of the window with all the processes that drive the net on the left, and

all the processes triggered by the net on the right, or

• a process with all the nets that trigger the process show as inputs on the left of the window,

and all the nets driven by the process on the right.
