Displaying Information about Simulation Objects

To display information about a simulation object, including its declaration,

• If you are using the Tcl command-line interface, type describe.

• If you are using SimVision, right-click the object and select Describe.

Displaying the Drivers of Signals

You can display a list of all of the contributors to the value of a specified digital object.

To display the driver of signals,

• If you are using the Tcl command-line interface, type drivers. For example:
  xcelium> drivers board.count

You can use the scope -drivers [scope_name] command to display the drivers of each object declared in a specified scope. You can use the scope -describe [scope_name] command to give the description of each object that is declared within the specified scope.

For Verilog-AMS, the drivers command cannot find the drivers of a wire or register unless the object has connectivity access. However, even if you have specified access to the object, its drivers might have been collapsed, combined, or optimized away. In this case, the output of the drivers (or Show - Drivers ) command might indicate that the object has no drivers.
