Macrotest

 

 

-NOVerbose

An optional literal that turns off the default verbose output. When using this option, the tool may leave out important warning and informative messages.

-L_h

An optional literal that specifies that {L,H} represent {LO,HI} output values in the patterns file. An error is issued if a 0 or 1 output value is specified. This is the default.

-NO_L_h

An optional literal that specifies that {0,1} will be used to specify {LO,HI} output values in the patterns file, rather than the default {L,H}. If the default {L,H} is used, checking is done to ensure that the pin direction matches (output pin for L,H; input pin for 0,1). If the option -NO_L_h is issued, no such checking is possible.

-MAX_Orderings d

An optional literal that sets the number of orderings d tried before accepting that less than all outputs will be observed in random runs. For multiple macro runs used with -Det_observe, it is the number of macro orderings tried before removing a macro from the list to test. The initial value of the integer d is equal to 5 upon invocation of FastScan.

-Det_observe

An optional literal that specifies that a set of observation paths should be preselected and used for every pattern created. This is the default. If the preselected observation is inconsistent with some pattern in the pattern file, macrotest issues a message and terminates test creation.

-RAndom_observe

An optional switch that allows macrotest to create an observation path for each test, randomly attempting to find a path for each output, for each test created. If one path (attempt) is unsuccessful, another random path (attempt) is made, until either the output is observed, or max_path_attempts is exceeded. If the limit is exceeded without success, then the macro output pin whose observation is being attempted is not observed for that pattern. Each output is tried in succession. If any output is not observed after reaching the maximum
