Set Test Cycle

Tools Supported: FlexTest

Scope: Setup mode

Usage

SET TEst Cycle integer

Description

Specifies the number of timeframes per test cycle.

The Set Test Cycle command specifies the number of timeframes per test cycle. Specifying a greater cycle width gives better resolution when using the Add Pin Constraints command. On the other hand, a greater width produces a larger performance overhead.

Arguments

integer

A required integer that specifies the number of timeframes that you want for each test cycle. The default value upon invocation of the tool is 1.

If the number that you specify is less than the cycle width required for the Add Pin Constraints or Add Pin Strobes command, then the Set Test Cycle command displays a warning message. The message states that the conflicting pin constraints or pin strobes will be reset to the current default value.

Examples

The following example sets the test cycle width to allow the addition of pin constraints:

set test cycle 2

add pin constraints ph1 r1 1 0 1 add pin constraints ph2 r0 1 0 1
