Reset State

Tools Supported: FastScan and FlexTest

Scope: Atpg, Fault, and Good modes

Usage

RESet STate

Description

Resets the circuit status.

The Reset State command resets the circuit status differently depending on the mode from which you issue the command. The following describes what the command does for each system mode:

∙In the ATPG system mode the command resets the faults to be undetected in order to run a new simulation, deletes the internal patterns, and when using FlexTest, resets the circuit status.

∙In the Fault system mode the command resets the faults to be undetected in order to run a new simulation, and when using FlexTest, resets the circuit status.

∙In the Good system mode, when using FlexTest, the command resets the circuit status.

When FlexTest resets the circuit status it re-reads the RAM intitialization files and resets all sequential elements to their initial states.

Examples

The following example first performs an ATPG run, then resets the circuit status, resets the faults to be undetected, deletes the internal patterns, and finally, performs a new ATPG run:

set system mode atpg add faults -all

run

reset state run
