Auto-Coloring Waves in Simvision?

snitkau

Hello,

First, I had something working that broke in the past few versions that I've been meaning to get working again. There was some setting I recall in the GUI that allowed me to have inputs be placed in the waveform viewer with yellow traces, and output signals with orange traces to match the name colors. How can I set this to happen in the .simvisionrc file?

Second, I would like to add something to my .simvisionrc file to go through foreach signal and depending on key locations based on the signal's Path.Name (mainly the model and design areas) such that if the path contains "mon", then to auto-set the trace and name colors to something such as cyan. I'd like to have loops for various key areas of the design to color-code the signals.

Third, I am interested if there is a possibility of coloring names/traces foregound colors to based on which position they are in the waveform viewer to make banding, ideally such that every three (or whatever) are one color (or a color mutation, adding some gray to signals colorized by the auto-coloring mentioned already, etc) that allows for the signal names/traces to be colorized along with the built-in optional black/gray background banding.

Thanks in advance

  • SimVision is extensible through Tcl commands and scripting, check out the documentation here: SimVision Tcl Commands, in particular the "waveform" command.

    Note however that SimVision is no longer actively developed, so we really recommend users to switch to the newer Verisium Debug platform with its more powerful Python APIs.
