Set Pattern Source Command Dictionary

∙-BInary (FastScan only)

An optional switch specifying that the External test pattern set is in binary format. This is used when reading in a file saved with the SAVe PAtterns -BInary command.

If neither -Binary or -Ascii options are specified, FastScan tries to open and process the file as a binary file, if this is unsuccessful, it tries to open and process the file as an ASCII file.

∙-Store_patterns (FastScan Only)

An optional switch that allows FastScan to place patterns that it simulates during the Good system mode into the internal pattern set. You can then use the Save Patterns command to save these patterns to an external file.

You cannot use this option with the Internal pattern source.

∙-Table(FlexTest Only)

An optional switch specifying that the External test pattern set is in table format. You must use this option if you specify External patterns that are in table format.

You cannot use this option with the Internal pattern source.

∙-Vcd(FlexTest Only)

The filename contains pattern data in the extended VCD format.

∙-Controlcontrol_filename (FlexTest Only)

Control file name that contains the waveform information of each primary input and output pins.

∙-NOPadding

An optional switch specifying that the source test pattern set contains ASCII patterns that are not padded for the scan load and unload data. For example, the source pattern set may be one that you wrote with the Save Patterns command using its -NOPadding switch.

You cannot use this option with the Internal pattern source.
