The Log Viewer is a graphical interface for displaying the Encounter log file in a separate console. The viewer helps you debug by letting you Easily find the information in log files Expand/collapse log file contentsView color-coded messages (ERROR and WARN)Run string matching/search/findView real time updates as log file changesGet direct links to extended
non-MMMC mode, you cannot use the same minimum or maximum library configuration
and run both bcWc and OCV analysis. In a typical EDI configuration, the provided.libs are
for two major PVT corners, that is, this is a bcWc configuration. If you want to run meaningful
OCV timing analysis using this configuration you can use the following commands so that
data from the two libraries does not get mixed together:
setTimingLibrary -
By default, the time and capacitance unit values for the design are set using the values
specified in the timing libraries, when the libraries are loaded into the design. If the values in
the timing libraries differ, the software generates warning messages and sets the value to
internal default setting of 1ns for time units and 1pF for capacitance units.
To change the unit definitions being used by the software, use the setLibraryUnit
command or the Design Import - Advanced - Timing form after importing the design
To ensure that your design meets the timing requirements, you must specify what the
requirements are by setting the constraints. You can use the timing constraints to set:
■ Timing context for constraint assertions.
■ Boundary conditions such as input and output delays.
■ Slew rates
After performing timing analysis, you can identify all timing violations and slacks. You can also
identify all of the critical paths in combinatorial or clocked circuits at both block and chip level.
You can use the timeDesign command to generate timing summary reports at different
stages in the implementation flow. You can also use reporting commands such as
report_timing to perform
