Variables window
The Variables window lists the names of HDL items within the current process, followed by
the current value(s) associated with each name. The pathname of the current process is
displayed at the bottom of the window.
HDL items
The following HDL items for VHDL and Verilog are viewable within the Variables window:
•
VHDL
constants, generics, and variables - or -
•
Verilog
register variables
The names of any VHDL composite types (arrays and record types) are shown in a hierarchical
fashion. Hierarchy also applies to Verilog vector memories. (Verilog vector registers do not
have hierarchy because they are not internally represented as arrays.) To indicate hierarchy,
each name is preceded by a box that contains a plus sign (+), a minus sign (-), or may be empty.
You can expand and contract the display to view the HDL items by clicking the mouse on the
boxes at the left of the Window.
