yes , you can
try something like this.
after the VSIM ....
write something like this

view wave
add wave -noupdate -format Logic -label clk /top_tb/top_DUT/CLK0_OUT


for more information on this commnad you can refer to the modelsim reference manual.

Hi,

You can create a macro file and use the add wave command:

add wave <options> /top/clk
add wave <options> /top/u0/u1/enable

In the waveform viewer you can load (File > Load) this macro file.

I am not writing any script to run modelsim.
I am invoking it from ISE.
In ISE i have selected ModelSim as simulator.

I dont know how to run script, whether to run it in modelsim or ISE.
I never used any scripts till now,

can you please give me if you have any example scripts like this.

Hi,

You can create a script outside ISE/Modelsim to create the macro file. In this macro file use the "add wave" to select signals you want to view in Modelsim waveform viewer.

From within Modelsim you can also create this macro file: select all signals you want to view in the waveform viewer. In the waveform viewer select File > Save. By default it saves the macro file to wave.do. When you open Modelsim again you can load this wave.do by selecting File > Load in Modelsim waveform viewer. This saves you time by selecting the same signals again (and again) in Modelsim.

But you can create this macro file also with any script language (Tcl, Perl, ...). The only thing you have to know is the exact path of the signal you want to view and the options for the "add wave" command.

when you are working in modelsim, you need to type the command in Modelsim prompt.

By GUI, get in libray>work>top_entity_name, right click on it and say add waves. You will find command got printed in prompt.

Get help from modelsim command reference manual.
