Capturing data transition time stamp of the a Wave viewed in SimVision

RFStuff

Dear All,

I have run a verilog module block in nc-sim.

I am able to see the input and output waveforms in SimVision.

But, I need to capture the  data transition (rising edge here) time stamps of the waves into a file.

I have earlier done this using OCEAN script (cross command) for Analog circuit simulation in ADE-L/XL.

How it can be done for nc-sim simulated data. 

Can anybody please tell me ?

Kind Regards,

    In Simvision, select the trace (or traces) you want to save this info for, and then do File->Export. On the form pick "Selected variables", and "all times" or the time range you want, and then the output format as Comma Separated Value (CSV). There are some advanced options for this if you need them (e.g. to change the time units). Then OK the form.

    You can even pick the option to generate the command-line equivalent way of doing this. This generates a file with contents like this:

    simvisdbutil -radix hex -output simvision.csv -csv waves.shm/waves.trn -signal "mytop.bigbus[107]" -signal "mytop.bigbus[108]" -timeunits ns

    If you run that from the command line it would do a similar export in batch mode.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks a lot.

    May I know the document which explains in more detail about the command line option.

    I see the simVision Introduction doc. But I am not finding this option.

    If you run `ncroot`/bin/cdnshelp or `xmroot`/bin/cdnshelp (depending on the version of digital simulator you're using) you can search for simvisdbutil and you'll find the documentation in the SimVision Analysis Environment manual. It explains how to use this from the command line.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
