Process window

ModelSim PE Graphic Interface Getting Started with ModelSim PE

You can debug your design (or explore someone else’s) by using the Process window. When

you click on a process in the Process window:

• the Structure window is updated to show the region in which the process is located

• the Variable window is updated to show the VHDL variables and Verilog register

variables in the process

• the Source window changes to show the associated source code

• the Dataflow window changes to show the process, the signals and nets the process reads,

and the signals and nets driven by the process.

Process window status bar

The Process window status bar is illustrated below.

Only two fields are used in the Process window status bar:

• Process window status (either Active Processes or Processes in Region) and name of the

design entity

• simulation time and delta

Process window mouse actions

In the Process window, you can click on a process name to:

• select the process you wish to run next

• update the Variables and Source windows

• place the selected process in the Dataflow window
