(TBench) 4.2 Setup the VHDL Simulator 

 Previous topic Next topic  

This tutorial requires that you have access to a VHDL Simulator from another vendor. You will need to tell TestBencher which simulator you want to use and also recompile the syncad libraries. Each time you upgrade to a newer version of TestBencher Pro or a new simulator you will need to recompile the libraries.

•Choose the Options > Simulator and Compiler Settings menu to open a dialog of the same name.

vhdl_sim_menu

•In the Tools drop-down, pick the name of your VHDL simulator.

•TestBencher Pro will look through your normal executable paths to find the stated simulator. There is also a Simulator Path box where you can type in the path if it is not in your PATH environment variable's list.

vhdl_simulator_dialog

•Press the Compile Syncad Libraries button to compile the simulation libraries with the selected simulator.

•Press Ok to close the dialog and apply the changes.
