Searching for item values in the List and Wave windows
You can search for HDL item values in the List and Wave windows. Select Edit > Search from the window's menu to bring up the Signal Search dialog box (List window version shown).
You can locate values for the Signal Name(s) shown at the top of the dialog box. The search is based on these options:
- Search Type: Any Transition
Searches for any transition in the selected signal(s).
- Search Type: Rising Edge
Searches for rising edges in the selected signal(s).
- Search Type: Falling Edge
Searches for falling edges in the selected signal(s).
- Search Type: Search for Signal Value
Searches for the value specified in the Value field; the value should be formatted using VHDL or Verilog numbering conventions.
- Search Type: Search for Expression
Searches for the expression specified in the Expression field evaluating to a boolean true. Activates the Builder button so you can use the Expression Builder if desired.
The expression may involve more than one signal but is limited to signals logged in the List window. Expressions may include constants, variables, and Tcl macros. If no expression is specified, the search will give an error. See the ModelSim Command Reference for more information on expression syntax.
- Search Options: Match Count
You can search for the n-th transition or the n-th match on value; Match Count indicates the number of transitions or matches to search.
- Search Options: Ignore Glitches
Ignore zero width glitches in VHDL signals and Verilog nets.
The result of your search is indicated at the bottom of the dialog box.
