Pin Checker Options Form

Use this form to detect mismatch in the connectivity and to fix the issues before netlisting..

Field Description

Dynamic pin check

Performs pin checking automatically if the view of a cell or an instance gets changed using the RMB options. The updated value is applicable to all the open HED windows. By default, Dynamic pin check is selected in the Pin Checker Options form.

You can change the view of a cell, right-click the cell in the Table View and select the Set Cell View option from the context-sensitive menu.Similarly, to change the view of an instance, right-click the instance either in the Table View or Tree View and select the Set Instance View option from the context-sensitive menu.

If Dynamic pin check is not selected, you need to explicitly select the Pin Check Cell Instantiations or Pin Check Instance option from the context-sensitive menu, if the view of that cell or instance is changed.

AMS-UNL checks

Resolves the issues related to the mismatch of vector and split ports on the place master and switch master in Pin Checker.These checks are already implemented in AMS-UNL netlister.

This command works only if the instance parent cellview is non-text and the switch master cellview is text.

When this option is selected, the Pin Checker does not reports an error when there is a mix of vector and split ports in the place master and switch master. This check is a window specific check. Selecting this field only effects the HED window.

HDL package setup

Imports all of the settings automatically from the HDL Package Setup form. This functionality is available only if the path to the file containing the settings has been specified in the HDL Package Setup.

The settings in the HDL Package Setup form must be saved after ensuring that the packages have been compiled using the specified options. If not then the compiler options from the HDL Package Setup form are found in the HDL Package Setup form or if the HDL package setup check box is not selected, the Pin Checker continues with the previous setup.
