Getting Started with ModelSim PE ModelSim PE Graphic Interface

Source window status bar

The Source window status bar is illustrated below.

The status bar for the Source window shows (from left to right):

• the name of the current source file,

• the current simulation time and delta (100 ns and 2 in this case),

• the current line number of the source code line displayed at the top of the Source window

and the total number of lines in the source code.

Selecting the source file

The Source window default file is the design you selected to simulate. An easy way to look at

a file that is not currently being displayed is to use the Structure window to select a different

design unit as the current working environment

You can also change the source file graphically with the

File > Select Source File

sequence, which brings up the

Select Source File

dialog box shown below:

See Structure window (p56) for more information on selecting HDL items within your design.
