Displaying Waveforms in the Waveform Window

You can use the SimVision Waveform window to display and analyze waveforms. How you plot a signal depends on the kind of probing that you use.

• If you use Tcl probing for analog and digital objects,

1. 1. Select the net in either Schematic Tracer, or the Design Browser.
   2. Choose Windows - Waveform in Design Browser to plot the signal in an existing Waveform window, or choose Windows - New - Waveform to plot the signal in a new Waveform window.

• If you probe objects from the analog simulation control file,

1. 1. Start, but do not finish, the simulation.
      For example, you might choose Simulation - Advance - Timepoint in the Design Browser.
   2. Select the net in either the Schematic Editing window or Design Browser.
   3. Choose Windows - Waveform in the Design Browser window to plot the signal in an existing Waveform window, or choose Windows - New - Waveform to plot the signal in a new Waveform window.

To plot signals after the simulation finishes, follow the procedures described in Chapter 4, "Accessing the Design Hierarchy," and Chapter 6, "Managing Simulation Databases," in the SimVision User Guide.
