You can use the signal navigation feature in Capture to navigate the connected signals on a design. This feature allows you to select a signal that you want to trace. Capture then browses for all the connected signals on the design. Finally, you can select and highlight the signals from the browse list.
To find and navigate the signals on a design
- Select the off-page connector, hierarchical port, net or bus to find its connecting signals.
- Right-click and choose the Signals option from the pop-up menu.
- A browse list appears with all the signals that are connected to the currently selected signal.
- Double-click on a signal in this list to navigate to the connected signal.
When you select to view the signals of a bus, the signal list contains the bus entries on the selected bus. However, the signal navigation does not connect to any bus with the same name on different pages. For example, if you choose a bus with the off-page connector defined as D[0..5] and the bus contains the bits D1 to D5, the list will display these bits. However it will not show any connectivity to another bus with the same off-page connector (D[0..5]) defined.
