Registering Monitor Nets

Use the Monitor Nets section on the Supply Nets tab of the Power Manager Setup form to:

  1. Register a net as Monitor/Sense, to designate it as a net or port for probing or testing.
  2. Specify the regular expression for probing or testing.

Specify values in the Names field to register a subset of specific net names that have been registered in the Regular Expression Based Registration section or defined using the signal type as Monitor Nets.

Similarly, specify values in the Regular Expressions field to register a subset of power or ground regular expressions that have been registered in the Regular Expression Based Registration section or defined using the signal type as Monitor Nets.

In a setup file, the monitor nets are represented as shown below:

  monitor (nil
   names ("VDD_PROBE" "VSS_PROBE")
   regExprs( "vdd.*sense vss.*sense" )
  )
 )
