Setting Wave window display properties
You can define the display properties
of the pathname and values window
panes by selecting Edit > Display
Properties in the Wave window.
The Wave Window Properties
dialog box includes the
following options:
• Signal Names
This selection allows you to display
the full pathname of each signal (i.e.:
sim:/top/clk), or its leaf element only
(i.e.: sim:clk). The default is Full
Path.
• Snap Distance
Specifies the distance the cursor
needs to be placed from an item edge
to jump to that edge (a 0
specification turns off the snap). The
value displayed in the item value
windowpane is updated to reflect the
snap.
• Dataset Prefix
With this selection you can determine how signals from different datasets are
displayed.
Show All Dataset Prefixes
All dataset prefixes will be displayed along with the dataset prefix of the current
simulation ("sim").
