3.2.5. Viewing Simulation Waveforms
Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition, ModelSim, and Questa simulators automatically generate a Wave Log Format File (.wlf) following simulation. You can use the .wlf to generate a waveform view.
To view a waveform from a .wlf through Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition, ModelSim, or Questa, perform the following steps:
- Type vsim at the command line. The ModelSim/Questa or Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition dialog box appears.
- Click File > Datasets. The Datasets Browser dialog box appears.
- Click Open and select your .wlf.
- Click Done.
- In the Object browser, select the signals that you want to observe.
- Click Add > Wave, and then click Selected Signals.
You must first convert the .vcd to a .wlf before you can view a waveform in Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition, ModelSim, or Questa.
- To convert the .vcd to a .wlf, type the following at the command-line:
vcd2wlf <example>.vcd <example>.wlf
- After conversion, view the .wlf waveform in Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition, ModelSim or Questa.
