ModelSim EE Lessons ModelSim EE Tutorial
Command, button, and menu equivalents
Many of the lesson steps are accomplished by a button or menu selection. When
appropriate, VSIM command-line (
PROMPT:
) or menu (
MENU:
) equivalents for
these selections are shown in parentheses within the step. This example shows
three options to the
run -all
command, a button, prompt command, and a menu
selection.
(PROMPT: run -all) (MENU: Run > Run -All)
Drag and drop too
"Drag and Drop" (p20) allows you to copy and move signals among windows. If
drag and drop applies to a lesson step, it is noted in a fashion similar to
MENUS
and
PROMPTS
with:
DRAG&DROP
.
Commands and their history
As you work on the lessons keep an eye on the Main transcript. The commands
invoked by buttons and menu selections are echoed there. You can scroll through
the command history with the up and down arrow keys, or the command history
may be reviewed with several shortcuts at the Model
