log
The
log
command creates a log file containing simulation data for all HDL items
whose names match the provided specifications. Items (VHDL variables, and
Verilog nets and registers) that are displayed using the
add list
(p260) and
add
wave
(p271) commands are automatically recorded in the log file.
If no port mode is specified, the log file contains data for all items in the selected
region whose names match the item name specification.
The log file is the source of data for the List and Wave output windows. An item
that has been logged and is subsequently added to the List or Wave window will
have its complete history back to the start of logging available for listing and
waving.
