Add Display Loop

 

 

Add Display Loop

Tools Supported: DFTInsight, FastScan, and FlexTest

FastScan Scope: All modes

FlexTest Scope: Setup and Drc modes

Prerequisites: You can use this command only after the tool performs the learning process, which happens immediately after flattening a design to the simulation model. Flattening occurs when you first attempt to exit Setup mode or when you issue the Flatten Model command.

Usage

ADD DIsplay Loop pin_pathname feedback_id#... -All

DFTInsight Menu Path:

Display > Additions: Loop

Description

Displays all the gates in a specified feedback path.

The Add Display Loop command creates a netlist containing a specific feedback path which the tool identified during the circuit learning process. The learning process provides an identification number and a list of gates for each such feedback path. By default, the gate lists include any duplicated gates. You can suppress duplicated gates by using the Set Loop Handling command prior to initiating the circuit learning process.

The Add Display Loop command allows you to specify a feedback path by its identification number. You can display a list of all the feedback path identification numbers by using the Report Feedback Paths command.

If you already have invoked DFTInsight on a flattened design, 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.
