Editing breakpoints
You can double-click anywhere in a line to set or remove a breakpoint.
Besides using the mouse to set and remove breakpoints, there is also the
Options > Edit
Breakpoints
menu command. It brings up
Breakpoints
dialog box.
With the
Breakpoints
dialog box you can delete or modify any breakpoint in the VHDL or
Verilog source code.
Examining values at breakpoints
Use the
Command
text box in the Breakpoints dialog box to enter a command that Model
Sim
will execute when the breakpoint is reached. A typical use is to examine a variable each time
the simulation gets to a breakpoint; in a case like this you can enter a command like the example
in the text box:
EXAMINE <variable_name>
Customizing the Source window
Selecting
Options > Simulation Options
brings up the Simulation Options dialog box. Select
the
Misc
tab to set tabs and margins for the VHDL or Verilog code displayed in the Source
Window.
