Add Display Instances

Tools Supported: DFTInsight, FastScan, and FlexTest

FastScan Scope: All modes

FlexTest Scope: Setup and Drc modes

Prerequisites: This command can only operate on the flattened simulation model of the design. The design flattening happens when you first attempt to exit Setup mode, or when you issue the Flatten Model command.

Usage

ADD DIsplay Instances {{gate_id# [-I input_pin_id -O output_pin_id]} pin_pathname instance_name}... [-Forward -Backward] [-Levelnumber -Cone -End_point -Decision_ point]

DFTInsight Menu Paths:

Description

Adds the specified instances to the netlist for display.

The Add Display Instances command creates a netlist containing the gates that you specify. If you already have DFTInsight invoked, the viewer automatically displays the graphical representation of the netlist and also marks key instances in the schematic view. Otherwise (if licensed), DFTInsight is automatically invoked on the netlist.

Arguments

The following lists the three methods for naming the objects that you want DFTInsight to display. You can use any number of the three argument choices, in any order.

gate_id# -Iinput_pin_id -Ooutput_pin_id

A repeatable integer and optional switch and number pair that specifies the gates that DFTInsight displays. The value of the gate_id# argument is the
