WaveViewer software gets faster
-- Test & Measurement World, 3/1/2008 2:00:00 AM
SynaptiCAD has released a new version of its free WaveViewer waveform-viewing tool. The new version can now read both analog and digital data captured by Agilent Technologies mixed-signal oscilloscopes. It also provides support for importing timing-parameter data in several field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufacturers’ formats, including Altera Timing Analyzer Output (*.tao) and Xilinx Speed File format (*.txt).
The new version sports 5X to 20X faster waveform rendering for analog waveforms or for waveforms containing bus data. It also sports waveform-data compression enhancements, resulting in compressed files up to 50X smaller than in previous versions. The PLI shared library that simulators use to directly create the tool’s native compressed btim format was also optimized to reduce simulation overhead. With the new shared library, simulations run using SynaptiCAD’s VeriLogger Extreme Verilog simulator execute up to 3X faster than previously when waveform streaming was enabled.
The upgrade includes a number of new features to improve browsing and annotation of waveform files. Users can sort visible signals by name, and a search tool helps find signals and signal values.
