Set Observe Threshold

Tools Supported: FastScan

Scope: All modes

Usage

SET OBserve Threshold integer

Description

Specifies the minimum number of observations necessary for the Analyze Observe command to consider a point adequately observed.

The Set Observe Threshold command specifies the minimum number of observations that the Analyze Observe command must encounter during fault simulation of a selected number of random patterns to consider a point adequately observed. This allows the Analyze Observe command to calculate the observability test coverage, giving the percentage of adequately observed pins.

When the Analyze Observe command fails to detect an output pin for the minimum number of random patterns (as defined by the observe threshold), FastScan identifies the output pin as inadequately observed. You can use the Report Observe Data command to display detailed results of the analysis.

You use the Set Observe Threshold and Analyze Observe commands primarily for simulating Built-In Self Test (BIST) circuitry.

Arguments

integer

A required integer, greater than or equal to 0, that specifies the minimum number of observations that you consider adequate during random pattern simulation. The default value upon invocation is 4.
