Wave window
ModelSim Xilinx User’s Manual ModelSim XE Graphic Interface 7-169
Note: Constants, generics, parameters, and memories are not viewable in the List or Wave windows.
The data in the item values windowpane is very similar to the Signals window,
except that the values change dynamically whenever a cursor in the waveform
windowpane is moved.
At the bottom of the waveform windowpane you can see a time line, tick marks,
and a readout of each cursor’s position. As you click and drag to move a cursor,
the time value at the cursor location is updated at the bottom of the cursor.
You can resize the window panes by clicking on the bar between them and
dragging the bar to a new location.
Waveform and signal-name formatting are easily changed via the Format menu
(7-
171)
. You can reuse any formatting changes you make by saving a Wave window
format file, see "Adding items with a Wave window format file"
(7-176).
The Wave window menu bar
The following menu commands and button options are available from the Wave
window menu bar. If you see a dotted line at the top of a drop-down menu, you
can select it to create a separate menu window. Many of these commands are also
available via a shortcut menu by clicking your right mouse button within the wave
window itself.
