saif file

hi,everyone

in my testbench, i want to create a SAIF(Switching Activity Interchange Format) file directly with the system functions list as following:

$set_gate_level_monitoring("rtl_on");
...
...

but the vcs report a syntax error of the function.
i wonder that if vcs has the function and there is somethine wrong with using it.

thanks in advance.

vcs saif

You can use UCLI prompt to dump saif files directly. Make sure you use the latest version of VCS ( 2006.06-SP2-7 or later).

Compile with -debug or -debug_all option,

When running, add -ucli option to commandline, this will give you ucli prompt.
"power -help" will give you info on saif dumping.
 

saif file format

but i cannt generate a saif file with ucli prompt.
and i cannt get it from ucli user guide.

and the "power -help" command is not available in ucli prompt.

saif generate

Are you sure you are running with latest version of VCS ?

I have seen that 2006.06-13 doesn't support it, while 2006.07-SP2-7 does. I am not sure in which version they introduced "power" command to ucli prompt.
 

saif vcs

thanks to rjainv

it's my mistake.
my vcs is not the latest, but only a 05 version.

i use "vcd2saif" command instead.

thank u very much.
