ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the configuration of a digital design first obtains a set of latch values of a plurality of latches within the digital design. A setting of a Dial instance is then determined based upon the set of latch values by reference to a configuration database that specifies a mapping table uniquely associating each a plurality of different settings of the Dial with a respective one of a plurality of different sets of latch values. The setting of the Dial instance is then output. In one embodiment, the setting of the Dial is contained in a simulation setup file utilized to configure a simulation model to a state approximating the state of the digital design represented by the set of latch values.
