This section provides an overview of the Timing Analyzer menus.
The File menu contains commands that load designs, physical constraints files, and macros. Commands that save and print reports on designs, and exit the Timing Analyzer. The commands on the File menu are the following.
| New Macro | Creates new macro |
| Open Design | Loads design (NCD for FPGA, VM6 for CPLD) and default physical constraints file (FPGA only) for timing analysis |
| Open Physical Constraints | Loads file (PCF) |
| Open | Loads report (TWR) or macro (XTM) files |
| Close | Closes active file |
| Save | Saves report, and macro files |
| Save As | Saves file in active window to another file |
| Run Macro | Runs specified macro |
| Print | Sends file in active window to default printer |
| Recent Design | Lists last four opened design files |
| Exit | Exits the Timing Analyzer |
The Edit menu is visible and enabled only if a design, macro, or report window is open.
| Cut | Cuts selected text |
| Copy | Copies selected text |
| Paste | Pastes cut or copied text |
| Find | Finds specified text |
| Find Next | Finds next occurrence of specified text |
The View menu contains commands that control the appearance of Timing Analyzer window.
| Toolbar | Displays or hides toolbar |
| Status Bar | Displays or hides status bar |
| Console | Displays or hides Console window |
| Clocks | Displays or hides clocks in the active design |
| Settings | Displays or hides current command settings |
| Font | Specifies the font used for displaying clocks, settings, and reports |
The Analyze menu contains commands that generate timing analysis reports according to current Timing Analyzer commands and option settings.
Timing Constraints  Report Paths in Timing Constraints | Generates a timing constraints analysis report for all paths covered by timing constraints |
| Timing Constraints Report Paths Failing Timing Constraints | Generates a timing constraints analysis report only for paths failing timing constraints |
| Timing Constraints Report Paths Not Covered by Timing Constraints | Generates a timing constraints analysis report for all paths covered and not covered by timing constraints |
| Advanced Design | Generates a report that indicates the overall design performance by clock |
| Custom | Generates a detailed report of the delay paths specified using custom and common filters |
| Query | Displays timing information about net delays or time groups |
The Path Filters menu contains commands that enable you to select a subset of information when generating a timing report.
| Timing Constraint Filters Disable Timing Constraints | Specifies timing constraints to be ignored |
| Custom Filters Select Sources | Defines path starting points |
| Custom Filters Select Destinations | Defines path ending points |
| Common Filters Include Paths with Nets | Includes specific paths in analysis |
| Common Filters Exclude Paths with Nets | Excludes specific paths from analysis |
| Common Filters Control Path Tracing | Controls tracing through specified components |
| Reset All Path Filters | Resets all path filters to default settings |
The Options menu contains commands that you can use to change the speed grade for analysis and report options.
| Speed Grade | Changes speed grade for analysis |
| Report Options | Determines format and content of reports |
The Window menu contains commands that control the placement of the windows on the main screen.
| Cascade | Arranges open windows diagonally |
| Tile | Arranges open windows in rows |
| Arrange Icons | Arranges icons in row at bottom of the Timing Analyzer window |
| Recent Window | Expands and/or brings to the front view the window that you select from a list of recently used active windows |
The Help menu contains commands that enable you to access online help for the Timing Analyzer.
| Help Topics | Lists online help topics |
| About Timing Analyzer | Shows current software version |
