Problem Title:
M1.4 Timing Analyzer: Failed to open document (Win95)


Problem Description:
Keywords: Timing Analyzer, report

Urgency: standard

The Timing Analyzer generates the report and it fails to open. This is due to th
e fact that the text editor can not handle large files. This problem does not ex
ist on M1.4 or later on
the Windows NT and Workstation platforms, but it is still a
problem for Windows 95.


Solution 1:

The file does exist and can be read with another text editor. The file is tempor
arily placed in the c:\windows\temp
directory (or the directory where the TEMP environment
variable points to). The files are prefixed with "xil_",
followed by a number. Find the most recent file generated of this type, since wi
ll be the last file generated by the Timing Analyzer.



Solution 2:

You can run T.A. and a "command line" mode by opening the Console window from th
e
View menu. Here you can issue an "AnalyzeAllPaths", or "AnalyzeDesignPerformance
"
command etc which equates to the "All" and "Mhz" toolbar buttons etc. How does t
his help?

There is an extra option to the command line that allows you to save the timing
report
to a specific file rather than view it. So you can then open the file in an edit
or. An example
command line is:

    AnalyzeAllPaths save c:\temp\timing.twr

or abbreviated to

    aap s c:\temp\timing.twr
