Testbench entity name

Specify the name of your testbench entity name. Default is “testbench,” the value used by WaveFormer Lite.

Top Level instance name in the testbench

Default is <top_0>, the value used by WaveFormer Lite. Libero replaces <top> with the actual top level macro when you run ModelSim.

Vsim Command Type

Select Minimum (Min), Typical (Typ), or Maximum (Max).
