Command Dictionary Add Primary Inputs

Add Primary Inputs

Tools Supported: FastScan and FlexTest

Scope: Setup mode

Usage

ADD PRimary Inputs net_pathname... [-Cut] [-Module]

Description

Adds primary inputs.

The Add Primary Inputs command adds an additional primary input to each specified net. Once added, the tool designates them as user class primary inputs, as opposed to the primary inputs described in the original netlist, which it designates as system class primary inputs. Use the -Cut option to disconnect the original drivers of the net so that the added primary input becomes the only driver to the net. Otherwise, if there are other drivers besides the newly added primary input, the tool treats this net as a wired net. You can display the user class, system class, or full classes of primary inputs using the Report Primary Inputs command.

Arguments

∙net_pathname

A required repeatable string specifying the pathname of the nets to which you want to add primary inputs.

∙-Cut

An optional switch that specifies disconnection of the original drivers of the net, making the added primary input the only driver of the net. The design must be flattened prior to using this option with the Flatten Model command.

∙-Module

An optional switch that specifies addition of the primary input to the specified nets in all modules.
