When you add a cursor, it is drawn in the middle of the display. Once you have more than one
cursor, Model
Sim
adds a delta measurement showing the time difference between the two
cursor positions. The selected cursor is drawn as a solid line; all other cursors are drawn with
dotted lines.
Tip:
If you click in the waveform display, the cursor closest to the mouse position is selected and
then moved to the mouse position. Another way to position multiple cursors is to use the mouse
in the time box tracks at the bottom of the display. Clicking anywhere in a track selects that
cursor and brings it to the mouse position.
The cursors are designed to snap to the closest HDL item edge to the left. You can control the
snap distance from the dialog box available with the
Options > Waveform Options
command.
Writing a PostScript file
The Wave window’s menu bar command,
File > Write PostScript File,
saves a history of all
the HDL items in the Wave window. The item names appear to the left of the waveforms in the
file.
