Tools Supported: FastScan and FlexTest

Scope: All modes

Usage

Description

Specifies the system mode you want the tool to enter.

The Set System Mode command directs the tool to a specific system mode. The system mode that you specify may be any of the modes that your tool supports. The default mode upon invocation of the tool is Setup.

When you switch from the Setup mode to any other mode, the tool builds a flat gate-level simulation model. Also, when switching from any other mode to the Setup mode, the tool discards all of the results generated in that mode unless you first save them.

Arguments

∙Setup

A literal that specifies for the tool to enter the Setup system mode.

For FastScan — Within this mode, you build the simulation model and identify and audit the scan structure. Unless the circuit passes rules checking, you cannot exit this mode except by specifying the -Force switch with one of the other mode names. When you re-enter the Setup mode, the tool discards the current fault list, internal pattern set, observe points, and control points.

For FlexTest — Within this mode, you set up the design and simulation environments. If you used DFTAdvisor for scan insertion, the design settings
