to the Print Wizard (2 of 3) window. Clicking on
Change File
opens a file browser window
that allows you to select or create a new PDF file.
In the Print Wizard (2 of 3) window, clicking on the Send to Printer button goes to the Print
Wizard (3 of 3) Printer confirmation window. Clicking on the
Yes
button causes the
waveform printout to be sent to the printer while clicking on the
No
button returns you to
the Print Wizard (2 of 3) window.
Page Setup
The Page Setup window can be invoked either from the Print Wizard (1 of 3) window or by
using the
File >
Page Setup
menu option.
Note:
In the ChipScope Pro Analyzer program, you can print only to the default system printer.
Changing the target printer in the print setup window does not have any effect. To change printers,
you must close the ChipScope Pro Analyzer program, change your default system printer, and restart
the ChipScope Pro Analyzer program.
Importing Signal Names
At the start of a project, all the signals in every core have generic names. You can rename
the signals individually as described in
“Renaming Signals, Buses, and Triggers Ports,”
or import a file that contains all the names of all the signals in one or more cores.
The CORE Generator™, ChipScope Pro Core Inserter, EDK Platform Studio, System
Generator for DSP, the PlanAhead™ design suite, and the FPGA Editor tools can create
such files. To import signal names from a file, select
File
>
Import
. A
Signal Import
dialog
box appears.
To select the signal import file, choose
Select New File
. A file dialog box appears, allowing
you to navigate and specify the signal import file. After you choose the file, the
Unit/Device
combo box is populated according to the core types specified in the signal
import file. If the signal import file contains signal names for more than one core, the
combo box displays device numbers for those devices containing only ChipScope Pro
capture cores.
If the signal import file contains signal names for only one core, the combo box is
populated with names of the individual cores matching the type specified in the signal
import file.
To import the signal names, click
OK
. If the parameters in the file do not match the
parameters of the target core or cores, a warning message is displayed. If you choose to
proceed, the signal names are applied to the cores as applicable.
Exporting Data
Captured data from an ILA core can be exported to a file, for future viewing or processing.
To export data, select
File
>
Export
. The Export Signals dialog box appears.
Three formats are available:
value change dump
(VCD) format,
tab-delimited
ASCII format, or
the Agilent Technologies Fast Binary Data Format (FBDF). To select a format, click its radio
button. To select the target core to export, select it from the core combo box.
Different sets of signals and buses are available for export. Use the Signals to Export combo
box to select all:
•
Signals and buses for that particular core
•
Signals and buses present in the waveform viewer for the core
