Problem Title:
PROwave:  Dynamic annotation of signal values in PROcapture stored in
PROwave



Problem Description:

When simulating using PROsim, PROcapture will annotate the current
signal values to the design schematic.	Because the current simulation
time in PROsim cannot be turned back, previously generated simulation
states cannot be annotated to the design schematic in PROcapture using
PROsim.




Solution 1:


PROwave can be used to annotate previous signal values that have
been stored in a PROwave waveform file (.wfm).

To backup the annotation state in PROcapture, perform the following
steps:

1.  In PROwave, select the Annotate On command from the Change menu.

2.  In PROcapture, select the PROwave Annotation->On command from
     the View menu.

3.  To select the state to display in PROcapture, double-click on the
     desired signal transition in the PROwave window with the left
     mouse button.

     The vertical cursor will be moved to the signal transition and the
     value of the signal will be displayed in the vertical signal value bar
     next to the signal name.

NOTE:  Only the signals that have been added to the waveform file
	   will be annotated to the design in PROcapture.  All signals that
	   were not added to the waveform will not have any value annotated
	   in PROcapture.
