Waveforms names in Viva/Result browser

Hi,

Is there a way to change the way Viva displays the name of a hierachical net when it's plotted? For example, if a have a certain "net_X" which in my circuit is placed down in the hierarchy, eg. tb_top/IOTA/Itrimming/net_X, I would like to configure Viva to only plot "net_X" in the name field instead of the name with the full hierarchy, or even better to choose the number of levels to be used in the name starting from the net itself and going up. Is this possibile?

Thanks a lot,

Francesco

    Hi Francesco,

    You can try RMB on legend name, it will show "Trace Properties" --> Name

    In this form you can change the name, by disabling default.

    Hope this will help

    Thanks,

    Nasser

    Hi Nasser, 

    Thankyou for your answer. Yes, this can be a solution, but in any case I need to do it for any waveform I plot, while I wanted to know if there's the possibility to set this by default.

    For example in simvision this feature can be set in preferences -> general options -> name display by un-checking the tick on "show database name", but I can't find a similar option in Viva.

    Thanks,

    Francesco

    Hi Francesco,

    I'm not sure the "show database name" in Simvision prevents the hierarchical name down to the signal. Actually it's "Show Full Signal Names" that you're thinking of, I think.

    I don't believe there's an option to do this in ViVA. Seems a reasonable enhancement request, so you should contact customer support to request it.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew, 

    yes you're correct, I was referring to "show full signal names" for Simvision. I'll contact costumer support as you suggested.

    Thanks a lot for your help,

    Francesco
