Creating Stimulus Files in ViewTrace

Editing the waveforms automatically creates a command file of the ViewTrace waveforms. Execute this command file can during simulation to define input waveforms as follows.

1. Delete all output signals and internal nodes from the waveform view, leaving only the device input signals.

   WARNING

   Any output waveforms that remain in your new command file are forced onto your simulation outputs and can cause false results when you run the file.

   ---

2. Use the Edit Insert command in ViewTrace to edit the input waveforms to produce the desired input stimuli. For more information, consult the Viewlogic documentation.
   
   
3. Save your input waveforms in a command file, stimulus.cmd, by using the File Save As Cmdfile command.

   NOTE

   If you want to reload the waveforms and edit them at a later time, use the File Save As Savefile command to save the waveforms as a stimulus.see file.

   ---

4. Edit the stimulus.cmd command file and add any desired vectors or other input stimulus.
   
   
5. Return to the ViewSim window and enter restart.
   
   
6. Type stimulus.cmd at the ViewSim prompt to run the command.
   
   
7. To edit your waveforms again, open the stimulus.see file in a ViewTrace window.
