ABSTRACT:
A property used in functional verification of a circuit design is debugged independently of the circuit design for which the property is intended. Visualization of the property under various conditions helps a user to debug any errors in how the property is implemented in a requirements model. To visualize a particular property, a trace of a corresponding property in the requirements model is generated. The trace illustrates waveforms of a set of signals related to the property for a number of clock cycles. To visualize the property under various conditions, a user can find additional traces of the property by applying visualization constraints to obtain meaningful traces.
