Instance name components in the Structure window
An instance name displayed in the Structure window consists of the following
parts:
where:
•
instantiation label
Indicates the label assigned to the component
or module instance in the instantiation
statement.
•
entity or module
Indicates the name of the entity or module that has been instantiated.
•
architecture
Indicates the name of the architecture associated with the entity (not present for
Verilog).
When you select a region in the Structure window, it becomes the
current region
and is highlighted; the Source window (p156) and Signals window (p150) change
dynamically to reflect the information for that region. This feature provides a
useful method for finding the source code for a selected region because the system
keeps track of the pathname where the source is located and displays it
automatically, without the need for you to provide the pathname.
Also, when you select a region in the Structure window, the Process window
(p147) is updated if
In Region
is selected in that window; the Process window will
in turn update the Variables window (p165).
