Set Checkpoint

 

 

Set Checkpoint

Tools Supported: FastScan and FlexTest

Scope: All modes

Prerequisites: You must use the Setup Checkpoint command prior to this command.

Usage

SET CHeckpoint OFf ON

Description

Specifies whether the tool uses the checkpoint functionality.

The Set Checkpoint command determines whether the tool uses the checkpoint functionality that you specified with the Setup Checkpoint command. At tool invocation, the checkpoint functionality is off, which means that during ATPG, the tool does not save patterns into the file that you specified with the Setup Checkpoint command. The tool only retains the internal patterns at the end of the ATPG run.

If you set the checkpoint functionality on, then during ATPG, the tool saves the patterns into the checkpoint file at the end of each time period specified by the Setup Checkpoint command.

Arguments

OFf

A literal that specifies for the tool not to use the checkpoint functionality during test pattern generation. Patterns are not written to any file. This is the default behavior of the tool upon invocation.

ON

A literal that specifies for the tool to use the checkpoint functionality. The tool writes test patterns that it generates to the file that you specified with the Setup Checkpoint command.
