Window overview

The ModelSim simulation environment consists of nine window types. Multiple

windows of each type may be used during simulation (with the exception of the

Main window) A brief description of each window follows:

• Main window (p24)

The main window from which all subsequent VSIM windows are available.

• Dataflow window (p35)

Lets you trace signals and nets through your design by showing related

processes.

• List window (p38)

Shows the simulation values of selected VHDL signals, and Verilog nets and

• Process window (p52)

Displays a list of processes that are scheduled to run during the current

simulation cycle.

• Signals window (p55)

Shows the names and current values of VHDL signals, and Verilog nets and

• Source window (p61)

Displays the HDL source code for the design.

• Structure window (p67)

Displays the hierarchy of structural elements such as VHDL component

instances, packages, blocks, generate statements, and Verilog model instances,

named blocks, tasks and functions.

• Variables window (p70)

Displays VHDL constants, generics, variables, and Verilog register variables in

the current process and their current values.

• Wave window (p73)

Displays waveforms, and current values for the VHDL signals, and Verilog nets

and register variables you have selected.
