$vcdplusevent
The $vcdplusevent task allows the user to record a unique event
for a signal at the current simulation time unit. These events can be
displayed in the Waveform Window, Logic Browser, and Register
Window.
There can be a maximum of 244 unique events, plus the pre-defined
"glitch" event which is automatically generated by the pli, and a "Too
many events" event which all unique events beyond the allowed 244
will be automatically named.
Syntax:
$vcdplusevent (<signal>, "<event_name>",
"<severity><shape>");
where
signal is any valid signal name.
event_name is a unique string which describes the event. This
event_name will appear in the status bar of the Waveform Window,
Logic Browser, or Register Window when the mouse is placed on the
event marker.
severity is a single character with legal values E, W, or I, which
indicates the severity of the event. The severity of the event may be
Error, Warning, or Information respectively. Colors associated with
the severity level are set in the X Resource file or NT registry. The
defaults are Red=Error, Yellow=Warning, and Green=Information. If
the severity is not interpretable, it will default to E.
shape is a single character with legal values S, T, or D which indicates
the geometry of the event as drawn by Virsim, and are Square,
Triangle, and Diamond respectively. If the geometry is not
interpretable, it will default to T.
