Process window
The Process window displays a list of processes (either active or in region) and
indicates the pathname of the instance in which the process is located.
Each HDL item in the scrollbox is preceded
by one of the following indicators:
• <Ready>
Indicates that the process is scheduled to be
executed within the current delta time.
• <Wait>
Indicates that the process is waiting for a VHDL
signal or Verilog net or variable to change or for a
specified time-out period.
• <Done>
Indicates that the process has executed a VHDL
wait statement without a time-out or a sensitivity
list. The process will not restart during the current
simulation run.
If you select a "Ready" process, it will be
executed next by the simulator.
When you click on a process in the Process window the following windows are
updated:
