The simulator commands used to control the VSIM simulator are described in this
chapter. These commands are only valid after loading a design with the
vsim
command (p91) or the via the Model
Sim
graphical interface. The commands here
are entered either in macro files or on the command line of the VSIM Main
window. Some commands are automatically entered on the command line when
you use the Model
Sim
EE/PLUS graphical user interface. All commands must be
entered in lower case.
Note that in addition to the VSIM commands documented in this section, you can
add the Tcl commands described in the Tcl man pages (use the Main window
menu selection:
Help > Tcl Man Pages
).
