This chapter describes all the commands that you can enter from the keyboard in the Timing Analyzer's Console or New Macro window. They are listed in alphabetical order in the following sections:
The syntax of these commands is case-insensitive; capitalization is for easy reading. Parameters in the “Abbreviation” sections have the same respective meanings as the parameters in the longer form of the syntax.
If # is the first non-white space character on a line, that line is treated as a comment (ignored). If \ (backslash) is the last character on a line, the next line of text is treated as a continuation of the line before it. You can use the backslash in this way to make a single command span more than one line.
For more information on issuing commands through the Console window, see the “Using the Console Window” section of the “How to Use the Timing Analyzer” chapter. For instructions on using these commands to build macros, see the “Using Macros” section of the same chapter.
| AnalyzeAdvancedDesign | Generates report indicating overall design performance |
| AnalyzeCustom | Generates report containing worst-case path delays for paths in design, except those suppressed by filtering commands |
| AnalyzeTimingConstraints | Generates report indicating whether design meets timing constraints |
| ControlPathTracing | Controls path tracing through components |
| DefineEndPoints | Defines path starting and ending points |
| DelayGreaterThan | Specifies minimum delay. Only supports analysis of CPLD designs |
| DelayLessThan | Specifies maximum delay. Optional CPLD-only command |
| DropTimingConstraint | Omits specified timing constraints from analysis |
| ExcludeNets | Prohibits analysis of specified nets |
| Exit | Exits the Timing Analyzer |
| IncludeNets | Limits analysis to paths containing specified nets |
| IncludeNoTimingConstraint | Forces reporting of paths with no timing constraints |
| MaxPathsPerTimingConstraint | Limits the total number of paths reported per timing constraint |
| OmitUserConstraints | Enables or disables user-specified constraints in the PCF file |
| OnlyLongestPaths | Reports only path with longest delay for each constraint. Only supports analysis of CPLD designs |
| OpenDesign | Loads a design for timing analysis |
| OpenPCF | Opens an existing physical constraints file |
| Query | Displays timing information about groups of elements |
| Report | Determines format of reports |
| ResetAllPathFilters | Causes path filters to revert to default |

| SelectPathType | Selects path types to analyze |
| SetForce | Suppresses messages when macro is run |
| ShowClocks | Show or hide the window showing the clock nets |
| ShowSettings | Show or hide the window displaying current settings of filters and command option settings |
| SortOn | Specifies how paths are sorted when they are reported. Only supports analysis of CPLD designs |
