Set Simulation Behavior Dialog Box (Configure Component-Level IP Wizard)

Use this dialog box to set the simulation behavior for a particular synthesis file in the CLIP.

To access this dialog box, select a synthesis file in the table on the Name and Sources page of the Configure Component-Level IP wizard. Then click the Set Simulation Behavior button.

This dialog box includes the following components:

Option Description
User-defined

Specifies that you will define one or more files, such as .vhd or .mif, as the simulation model for the synthesis file.

Use the buttons to the right of this list in the following ways:
  • Add File—Prompts you to add a file to the list.
  • Remove File—Prompts you to remove a file from the list. Select the file and then click the Remove File button.
  • Set as Top—Prompts you to set a file as the top-level simulation file. Select a file and then click the Set as Top button. By default, the first file you add is the top-level simulation file.
Same as synthesis Specifies that LabVIEW uses the synthesis file itself for simulation. This option is available only if the synthesis file is not a netlist file.
Exclude from simulation model Specifies that LabVIEW does not export this file for simulation. Select this option if you do not need to simulate the synthesis file.If you select this option for the top-level synthesis file, then LabVIEW will not simulate any of the IP, regardless of the simulation behavior you specify for the other synthesis files.

Batch Setting Simulation Behaviors

If you select multiple synthesis files before launching this dialog box, LabVIEW dims certain behaviors according to the following rules:

  • LabVIEW always dims the User-defined behavior.
  • LabVIEW dims the Same as synthesis behavior if you selected at least one netlist file
  • LabVIEW dims the Exclude from simulation model behavior if you selected the top-level synthesis file
