<strong>Simulator</strong> <strong>Configuration</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>Chapter 7: Using QuickSim II with <strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>Models</strong>QuickSim II Command InteractionThere are many QuickSim II simulator commands that interact with Smart<strong>Models</strong> in adesign. Table 17 lists some of the QuickSim II commands that affect Smart<strong>Models</strong>.Table 17: QuickSim II Command InteractionQuickSim II CommandINITIALIZESIGNAL INSTANCEREPORT OBJECTREREAD MODELFILERESET STATERESTORE STATESAVE STATEWRITE MODELFILEEffect on Smart<strong>Models</strong>Causes a model to reevaluate until the simulationreaches DC stability. It will not reset the model orset internal values to the “state_value” specified.Reports the status of selected instances with the“swift_dump” parameter.Not supported by Smart<strong>Models</strong>. Use the SIGNALINSTANCE command to query a model and reportits status.Reloads any of the configuration files used by amodel, including memory image, JEDEC, MCF,SCF, and PCL command files. <strong>Configuration</strong> filesare only re-read if the simulation has changed theconfiguration.Causes all models to reinitialize their states to theoriginal time zero (power-up) conditions.Restores all of the model's internal states as part ofthe operation.Records all of the model's internal states as part ofthe operation.Causes a model to “dump” its memory image to afile.SWIFT Command ChannelYou can use the SWIFT command channel to pass commands directly through toSmart<strong>Models</strong>. Use the QuickSim II SIGNAL INSTANCE command to access thecommand channel.To issue a command <strong>for</strong> selected instances, use the following:signal instance swift_model -p “command_name [ arguments ]”October 6, 2003 <strong>Synopsys</strong>, Inc. 137
