Finding a cursor
Choose a specific
cursor view with
Cursor > Goto
menu selection.
The cursor value
(on the
Goto
list)
corresponds to the
simulation time of
that cursor.
Making cursor measurements
Each cursor is displayed with a time box showing the precise simulation time at
the bottom. When you have more than one cursor, each time box appears in a
separate track at the bottom of the display. VSIM also adds a delta measurement
showing the time difference between the two cursor positions.
If you click in the waveform display, the cursor closest to the mouse position is
selected and then moved to the mouse position. Another way to position multiple
cursors is to use the mouse in the time box tracks at the bottom of the display.
Clicking anywhere in a track selects that cursor and brings it to the mouse
position.
The cursors are designed to snap to the closest wave edge to the left on the
waveform that the mouse pointer is positioned over. You can control the snap
distance from "Wave category" in the dialog box available from the
Properties >
Display
menu selection; see "Setting Wave window display properties" (p176).
You can position a cursor without snapping by dragging in the area below the
waveforms.
