Add Display Path

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

For FastScan:

ADD DIsplay Path {-Delay_pathpath_name} -All {{gate_id_begin# instance_name_begin} [gate_id_end# instance_name_end] [-Noblock]}

For FlexTest:

ADD DIsplay Path {gate_id_begin# instance_name_begin} [gate_id_end# instance_name_end] [-Noblock]

DFTInsight Menu Path:

Display > Additions: Delay Path

Description

Displays all the gates associated with the specified path.

The Add Display Path command creates a netlist containing the named path. 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.

You specify a particular path by indicating the beginning gate or instance and the end gate or instance of the path or by just indicating the beginning gate or instance if the path is a loop. If the tool cannot identify a path or a loop, then it displays an error message. State elements and tie gates block the path unless you specify the -Noblock switch.
