Using the Report Window or Report
File to View Fitting Results
The Report window contains many sections that can help you analyze the
way the Fitter performed place and route for your design. It includes several
sections that show resource usage. It also lists error messages that were
generated by the Fitter, as well as messages for any other module you were
running.
By default, the Report window opens automatically when you run the Fitter
or any other compilation or simulation module; however, you can specify
that it should not open automatically by turning off Automatically open the
Report window before starting a processing task if the appropriate Tool
window is not already open in the Processing page of the Options dialog
box (Tools menu). Also, if the Compiler Tool window is open, the Report
window does not open automatically, but clicking on the Report File icon for
each module displays the report for that module. When the Fitter is
processing the design, the Report window continuously updates with new
information. If you stop the Fitter, the Report window contains only the
information created prior to the point at which you stopped the Fitter. See
Figure 4.
