Command Dictionary Save Patterns
FastScan and FlexTest Reference Manual, V8.6_4 2-411
•-Serial
An optional switch that saves all scan cells in series. You can only use this
switch with the -Lsim, -Mgcwdb, -Tssiwgl, -Verilog, -VHdl, or -Zycad format
type switches.
•-EXternal
An optional switch that saves the current external pattern set to the filename
that you specify. The default is to save internal patterns.
If you save the external patterns in the -Ascii format, the tool does not include
test coverage and fault information.
•-BEgin
For FastScan: -BEgin {pattern_number | pattern_name}
An optional switch that specifies the FastScan pattern at which you want
the command to begin storing patterns. The default pattern is 0. For
FastScan, pattern_number is an integer and pattern_name is a string
generated by using the -tag switch (which specifies a prefix for all pattern
names). For example, pattern_name = tag_name_1, tag_name_2, etc.
If you save only a portion of the internal patterns in the -Ascii format, the
tool does not include test coverage and fault information.
For FlexTest: -BEgin begin_number
An optional switch and integer pair that specifies the number of the
FlexTest cycle at which you want the command to begin storing patterns.
The default cycle number is 0.
If you save only a portion of the internal patterns in the -Ascii format, the
tool does not include test coverage and fault information.
•-END
For FastScan: -END {pattern_number | pattern_name}
An optional switch that specifies the number of the FastScan pattern at
which you want the command to stop storing patterns. This argument is
inclusive; therefore, the tool stores the pattern identified by the
pattern_number | pattern_name you specify. The default pattern is the last
