Adding items with a Wave window format file
To use a Wave window format file you must first save a format file for the design
you are simulating.
• add the items you want in the Wave window with any other method shown

• edit and format the items, see "Editing and formatting HDL items in the Wave
window" (p82) to create the view you want
• save the format to a file with the Wave window menu selection:
File > Save
Format
To use the format file, start with a blank Wave window and run the DO file in one
of two ways:
• use the do command on the command line:
do <my_wave_format>
• select
File > Load Format
from the Wave window menu bar
Use
Edit > Select All
and
Edit > Delete
to remove the items from the current
Wave window, use the
delete
command with the
wave

blank Wave window with the
View > New > Wave
selection from the Main
window (p24).
Note:
Wave window format files are design-specific; use them only with the design you were simulating
when they were created.

HDL items in the Wave window
Once you have the HDL items you want in the Wave window, you can edit and
format the list in the name/value pane to create the view you find most useful. (See
also, "Adding HDL items in the Wave window" (p81).)
To edit an item:
Select the item’s label in the left name/value windowpane or its waveform in the
right windowpane. Move, copy or remove the item by selecting commands from
the Wave window Edit menu (p76) menu.
