Scripts files (.do) created by Quartus When ModelSim is launched from the Altera Quartus environment, Quartus automatically creates a.do script file that contains all of the necessary commands to compile the.vhd source files and the test bench, load, start and run the simulation in the ModelSim environment. This application note details the necessary steps to setting up the Quartus environment, as well as the ModelSim commands to open a customized Wave View window panel automatically. Therefore, having one or several custom views and invoking them automatically will help the verification job. Moreover, coloring, ordering and grouping signals is especially useful when simulating complex designs. However, to either facilitate debugging tasks or check specific behavior of lower level components, most of the time internal signals also need to be displayed in the Wave View window panel of ModelSim.
1 How to Customize the ModelSim Wave View in the Altera Quartus Simulation Flow Cristian Sisterna Summary When ModelSim is automatically lunched from the Quartus environment, it just displays the top level entity signals in the Wave View window.
