Adding items from the Main window command line
To add specific HDL items to the window, enter (separate the item names with a
space):
add wave <item_name> <item_name>
You can add all the items in the current region with this command:
add wave *
Or add all the items in the design with:
add wave -r /*
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
above
• edit and format the items, see "Editing and formatting HDL items in the Wave
window" (p178) 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 (p297) with the
wave
option, or create a
new, blank Wave window with the
View > New > Wave
selection from the Main
window (p116).
Note:
Wave window format files are design-specific; use them only with the design you were simulating
when they were created.
