Description
Specifies the checkpoint file to which the tool writes test patterns or fault lists
during ATPG.
The Setup Checkpoint command specifies the filename and time period in which
the tool writes test patterns during test pattern generation. If you use the
-Overwrite option and the tool does not create any new test patterns, the file is not
updated. The -Faultlist fault_file option enables you to save a fault list.
FlexTest Only - In order to save only the fault list, use both the -Nopattern and
the -Faultlist fault_file switches together at the command line.
Arguments
•filename
A required string that specifies the name of the file into which you want to
write the test patterns during test pattern generation.
Note
Although you can issue the Setup Checkpoint command in any
mode, the tool will only write out a checkpoint file in ATPG mode
with the Set Checkpoint command turned on.
