CHAPTER 4: SYNTHESIS
ANALYZING SYNTHESIS RESULTS WITH THE RTL VIEWER
ALTERA CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ■ 83
The State Machine Viewer includes a schematic view and a transition table.
See Figure 8.
Figure 8. State Machine Viewer Window
When you select a cell in transition table, the corresponding state or
transition is highlighted in the schematic view. Likewise, when you select a
state or transition in the schematic view, the corresponding cell is
highlighted in the transition table. The schematic view allows you to zoom
in and out, scroll up and down, and highlight fan-in and fan-out. In the
transition table, you can copy selected cells or the entire table to any text
editor. You can also align and sort data that appears in the table columns.
You can print RTL views, including State Machine views. If you want to
export a copy of an RTL view or State Machine view, you can export a copy
of the whole image or part of the image in JPEG File Interchange Format
File (. jpg) or Bitmap File (.bmp) format. You can also save a copy to the
Clipboard to be saved in other graphics or drawing programs as a Graphics
Interchange Format File (.gif), JPEG File, or BMP File; or to be pasted in a
Microsoft Word document file as an Enhanced Metafile (.emf).
If you decide to make changes to your design after viewing it with the RTL
Viewer, you should perform Analysis & Elaboration again so you can
analyze the updated design in the RTL Viewer.
