Report Skew Dialog Box (report_skew)

You open this dialog box by double-clicking Report Skew in the Tasks pane in the TimeQuest Timing Analyzer.

Allows you to configure and display a customized report that details the results of skew analysis as defined by timing constraints and exceptions. After generating a Report Skew report, you can transfer the information to the Report Max Skew to further refine your SDC.

Note: You can click the Pushpin button to keep the Report Timing dialog box open after you generate a report. You can use this feature to fine tune your report settings or quickly create additional reports. You can click Close to close the dialog box at any time.
