This is the M1.4 Quickstart Guide. The Appendix will contain the M1 Constraints Guide 
as well as other material for the interfaces. The M1 Constraints Guide is the best place
for a new user to begin learning about timing constraints, since it provides a quick overview 
of the syntax and purpose of the most common constraints. See "Using Timing Constraints"  
below for a more comprehensive discussion of constraints.

 
This is Chapter 4 of the Development System Reference Guide. This document describes in
full detail the bulk of the Xilinx constraint syntax and how to apply it. It does not include full 
descriptions of all Xilinx constraints. Topics covered include TNMs,Timegroups,Timespecs, 
PERIOD, TIG, OFFSET, and thru-points.
This is the Timing Analyzer Reference/User Guide. This document focuses on using the 
Timing Analyzer GUI, but it also describes some of the path tracing behavior and the report 
format. 
This is Chapter 11 of the Development System Reference Guide. This document describes  
the "trce" program, as well as all the command line options that are available. It also 
describes the report format and the different types of reports that can be generated.
This is Chapter 12 of the Libraries Guide. This document gives the full description and
complete syntax of all available Xilinx constraints, including placement constraints. Topics
covered include UCF/PCF syntax, RLOCs and RPMs, and carry logic.
