Command Dictionary Set Gate Level

Set Gate Level

Tools Supported: DFTInsight, FastScan, and FlexTest

Scope: All modes

Usage

SET GAte Level Design Primitive Low_design

DFTInsight Menu Path:

Setup > Design Level > Design Primitive

Description

Specifies the hierarchical level of gate reporting and displaying.

The Set Gate Level command specifies the hierarchical gate level at which the tool operates. This includes the reporting and schematic display of gate information. Once you set the gate level, the tool processes all subsequent commands using the new gate level.

In FlexTest you can only access DFTInsight from within the Setup or DRC modes; in FastScan you can access DFTInsight from any

Note system mode.

Whenever you issue a command which invalidates the flattened model, the tool also invalidates the hierarchical gate display structure. This causes DFTInsight to clear the schematic view area. You can rebuild the hierarchical gate structure by creating a new flattened model. To do so either enter and exit the Setup mode or use the Flatten Model command.

Arguments

∙Design

A literal that specifies to display gate information at the design library hierarchical gate level. These are the top level cells of the design library which are instantiated in your design. This is the default upon invocation of the tool.

∙Primitive

A literal that specifies to display gate information at the built-in primitive gate level.
