« Prev | Next » Watch Window Description What is a watch window? How do I use it? Solution During the simulation, you can highlight multiple signals from the bottom window of Structures tab, right click and choose Add to Watch. The Watch window is a debugging tool designed to display values of selected objects (signals, variables, nets, registers, etc.) in the simulated model. The window is divided into several columns: Event The column has no title and is displayed as the leftmost. If an event has occurred on a signal in the current simulation cycle, it is symbolized by a red exclamation mark (!). Name The identifier of the object. Value The current value of the object. For files, the column shows the open kind information (read_mode, write_mode, append_mode) and the file name with the full path. Type For VHDL, the type of the object. For Verilog, reg or the type of the net. Last Value The previous value of the object, that is, the value of the object before the last event. This column is used only for signals (including ports). Last Event Time The time of the last event. This column is used only for signals (including ports). Previous article Next article
