file
Before adding items to the List or Wave window you may want to set the window
display properties (see "Setting List window display properties" (p42)). Once
display properties have been set, you can add items to the windows or log file in
several ways.
Adding items from the Main window command line
Use the
View
menu with either the
Wave
,
List
, or
Log
selection to add
HDL items to the Wave window (p73), List window (p38)or a log file,
respectively.
The log file is written as an archive file in binary format and is used to
drive the List and Wave window at a later time. Once signals are added
to the log file they cannot be removed. If you begin a simulation by
invoking VSIM with the -view <logfile_name> option, VSIM reads the
log file to drive the Wave and List windows.
Choose one of the following options (Model
Sim
opens the target window for you):
•
Selected signal
Lists only the item(s) selected in the Signals window.
•
Signals in region
Lists all items in the region that is selected in the Structure window.
•
Signals in design
Lists all items in the design.
Adding items from the Main window command line
Another way to add items to the Wave or List window or the log file is to enter the
one of the following commands at the VSIM prompt:
add list | add wave | log <item_name> <item_name>
You can add all the items in the current region with this command:
add list | add wave | log *
Or add all the items in the design with:
add list | add wave | log -r /*
