Sim
’s interface with Logic Modeling’s SmartModels and hardware modeler
are specified in the
[lmc]
section of the
modelsim.ini
file; for more information see
"VHDL SmartModel interface" (p502) and "Logic Modeling Hardware Modeler"
(p511) respectively.
Variable functions
Several, though not all, of the
modelsim.ini
variables are further explained below.
Environment variables
You can use environment variables in your initialization files. Use a dollar sign
($) before the environment variable name.
TranscriptFile any valid
filename
file for saving command transcript; environment
variables many be included in the path name; default
is "transcript"; the size of this file can be controlled
with the MTI_TF_LIMIT variable (p55)
UserTimeUnit fs, ps, ns, us, ms,
sec, min, hr
specifies the default units to use for the "<timesteps>
[<time_units>]" argument to the
run
command
(p361), default is "ns"; NOTE - the value of this
variable must be set equal to, or larger than, the
current simulator resolution specified by the
Resolution variable shown above
