SynaptiCAD's WaveFormer Pro has the ability to generate stimulus vectors for Mentor Grapghics' VHDL,
Verilog, SPICE and gate level simulators. WaveFormer Pro lets you specify and analyze timing diagrams
early in the design cycle, then take that same work and use it as stimulus for circuit simulation. With
WaveFormer, users create timing diagrams by drawing signals, clocks, and buses, and by simulating Boolean
and register logic signals. Graphical timing parameters like delays, setups, and holds actively move
and monitor signal transitions.

Import & Export Waveforms
WaveFormer Pro supports waveform input from a variety of sources including: drawing waveforms graphically
in the timing diagram editor, numerical input from a spreadsheet, waveforms captured by logic analyzers,
and simulator output generated by Mentor's simulators. All WaveFormer waveforms can be exported as stimulus
vectors for HDL simulators.

VHDL & Verilog Support
SynaptiCAD provides two levels of VHDL and Verilog test bench generation. WaveFormer Pro produces single
timing diagram stimulus generation, which is perfect for testing small designs and models. Additionally,
WaveFormer's big brother TestBencher Pro generates multi-diagram, self-testing, reactive test benches.
TestBencher Pro is perfect for building bus-functional models of microprocessor and bus interfaces.
