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
