6 DFTVIEW COMPARE MODE
®
6.1 Overview
DFTView® provides a consistent way to view the waveforms from different file formats.
With
DFTView® Compare Mode you can open two files representing the same vector set (e.g. an EVCD and
a VTRAN®-translated STIL file), view the associated waveforms, and compare the vectors.
This is not a byte-by-byte diff of two text files, but instead a comparison of state and/or transition
differences. The results are displayed as an ordered (by time) collection of miscompares (points where
the vectors differ) along with a customized waveform representation of them. Each miscompare will
be displayed as a peak on an otherwise linear waveform trace (where each signal is represented by a
trace).
