Comparing the two designs

To compare the two simulations, we will create a second pane in the Wave window, open the struct.wlf file, and add the signals from the dataset to the new pane.

1. Add a second pane to the Wave window.

MENU: Wave > File > New Window Pane

Notice that a thick, white vertical bar at the left edge of the window indicates that the new pane is active. You probably want to increase the height of this new pane by pointing at the top border of the pane and clicking and dragging with the two-headed arrow.

2. Open struct.wlf (if you don't specify a dataset name, it will be named "struct" by default).



dataset open struct.wlf  

(MENU: Wave > File > Open Dataset)

3. Add signals for the "struct" dataset.



add wave * 

Notice that the pathname prefix for the signals you just added is the dataset name "struct". The pathname prefix for the active simulation is "sim".

The results for each simulation should be the same. You can continue experimenting with the two simulations or quit the simulator.

quit -f 

(MENU: Main > File > Quit)
