Waveform of task in class?

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hi all,

We all know that tasks in module can be viewed in simvision by add a "probe -tasks".
But how to see waveform of task in class?

BTW, I use IUS583.

Best regards,
Davy

    Hi Davy.

    Firstly, you should really use a newer version of Incisive, the version you mention is so old I doubt it has much support for classes at all!

    Secondly, because most of the activity inside class methods happens in zero time, putting the class variables into the waveform doesn't generally help you to understand the execution of the testbench. It's better to either single-step the simulation in the SimVision debug GUI and watch the code execute on the fly, or the best is to use the Indago Debug Analyzer tool which probes all your testbench activity and allows you to post-process debug the classes with reverse stepping back from the point of failure. It is a massive time-saver. Indago is only available in relatively recent version of Incisive, you'd want to be using 14.2 or later, and ideally 15.2.

    Your local Cadence AE should be able to help you with that. If you're not sure who your local contact is, drop me a private message with your corporate email and location, and I'll get someone to get in touch.

    Regards,

    Steve
