Introduction ModelSim EE Tutorial
Model
Sim
’s graphic interface
While your operating system interface provides the window-management frame,
Model
Sim
controls all internal-window features including menus, buttons, and
scroll bars. The resulting simulator interface remains consistent within these
operating systems:
• SPARCstation with OpenWindows or OSF/Motif
• IBM RISC System/6000 with OSF/Motif
• Hewlett-Packard HP 9000 Series 700 with HP VUE or OSF/Motif
• Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95/98
Because Model
Sim
’s graphic interface is based on Tcl/TK, you also have the tools
to build your own simulation environment. Easily accessible preference variables
and configuration commands give you control over the use and placement of
windows, menus, menu options and buttons.
For an in-depth look at Model
Sim
’s graphic interface see, "ModelSim EE Graphic
Interface" (p17).
Standards supported
Model
Sim
VHDL supports both the IEEE 1076-1987, 1076-1993 VHDL, 1164-
1993
Standard Multivalue Logic System for VHDL Interoperability
, and the
1076.2-1996
Standard VHDL Mathematical Packages
standards. Any design
developed with Model
Sim
will be compatible with any other VHDL system that
is compliant with either IEEE Standard 1076-1987 or 1076-1993.
Model
Sim
Verilog is based on the IEEE Std 1364-1995
Standard Hardware
Description Language Based on the Verilog Hardware Description Language
.
The Open Verilog International
Verilog LRM version 2.0
is also applicable to a
large extent. The PLI is supported for PE and EE users, while VCD support is
available for EE users only.
In addition, all products support SDF 1.0, 2.0, and 2.1, VITAL 2.2b, and
VITAL’95 - IEEE 1076.4-1995.
