Comparing and Updating Master Design


You can compare the schematics in the master project and the test bench to highlight the differences using the SVS utility. This utility displays the differences and uses color code to highlight the different types of changes. The result window has two panels, the left panel represents the test bench. The differences listed are for the categories: unmatched object (yellow by default), missing objects (red by default), and matching objects (white in color). You can check any of the listed differences on the test bench panel, and propagate the changes to the master design. However, you cannot update a master design for missing objects.
You can click Settings ( ) to open the Settings dialog box and change the default colors in the Color tab. You can also filter for different objects, if you do not want them to be listed.
To compare and propagate changes:

  1. Select the master DSN in Project Manager.
  2. Choose ToolsTest BenchCompare Test Bench.
    The differences between the master design and the test bench design are displayed.
