2.5.4.1. Cross-Probing from Design Assistant to Timing Analyzer

Some Design Assistant rule violations allow cross-probing into Timing Analyzer. For example, for a path that Design Assistant flags with a setup analysis violation due to delay added for hold, you can cross-probe into the Timing Analyzer to view more information on the affected path and edge.
Figure 34. Cross Probing from Design Assistant Rule TMC-20210 Violations to Timing Analyzer

Follow these steps to cross-probe from such Design Assistant rule violations to the Timing Analyzer:

  1. Compile the design through at least the Compiler's Plan stage.
  2. Locate a rule violation in the Design Assistant folder of the Compilation Report.
  3. Right-click the rule violation to display any Report Timing commands available for the violation.
  4. Click the Report Timing command. The Timing Analyzer opens and reports the timing data for the violation path. Report Timing (Extra Info) includes Estimated Delay Added for Hold and Route Stage Congestion Impact extra data.
