<h1>NET PROBES</h1><br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
XSCHEM has the ability to hilight a net and propagate the highlight color to all nets or
|
|
instance pins attached to the net. It has the ability to follow this net through the hierarchy. This is very
|
|
useful in large designs as it makes it easy to see where a net is driven and were the net goes (fan-out).
|
|
Highlighting a net is straightforward, click a net and press the <kbd>'k'</kbd> key. If more nets are selected
|
|
all nets will be colored with different colors.
|
|
<kbd><Shift>K</kbd> clears all highlight nets, <kbd><Ctrl>k</kbd> clears selected nets.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Select some nets...</p>

<p>..press the <kbd><Ctrl>k</kbd> key and white net is un-highlighted...</p>

|
|
<p>
|
|
if you descend into component instance <kbd>x1</kbd> (mos_power_ampli) (<kbd>'e'</kbd> key) you will see the highlight nets
|
|
propagated into the child component.

|
|
A very useful function is the 'View only probes' mode, (<kbd>'5'</kbd> key) that hides
|
|
everything but the highlight probes. This is useful in very big VLSI designs to quickly
|
|
locate start and end point of nets.
|
|
Pressing again the <kbd>'5'</kbd> key restores the normal view.
