Description
Specifies the source of the patterns for future Run commands.
The Set Pattern Source command specifies the source of the pattern set that you
want the tool to use for future Run commands.
Arguments
•Internal
A literal that specifies for the tool to use the internal set of patterns when
performing a simulation run. This is the default mode upon invocation of the
tool.
In ATPG system mode, this option directs the Run command to perform the
basic ATPG process. In Fault simulation or Good circuit simulation system
mode, this option directs the Run command to perform simulation for the
internal set of patterns that Run generated during the previous ATPG system
mode.
•Random (FastScan Only)
A literal that specifies for the tool to use the random patterns, capture clock,
and observation point that you previously specified when performing a
simulation run.
