TIMEPLATE
Scope: Sets timing information
Usage
TIMEPLATE “timeplate_name”=
timeplate_statement;...
END;
Description
Defines non-scan event timing.
FastScan uses timeplate definitions within a timing file to specify timing
waveforms for non-scan related event groups. For more information on
timeplates, refer to “Test Pattern Formatting and Timing” in the Scan and ATPG
Process Guide.
FastScan tries to match the exact timeplate to an event group for a particular
pattern. If such a timeplate does not exist, FastScan chooses another timeplate that
contains all events in the current pattern. This super timeplate contains a superset
of the events of all other timeplates for the pattern set. FastScan requires a super
timeplate when the test format you wish to write allows only a single timing
definition. At a minimum, you need only specify the super timeplate for all non-
scan event groups.
FastScan can also write default timeplates required for the event groups of the
pattern set. For more information, refer to the Write Timeplate application
command description in Chapter 2.
Arguments
• “timeplate_name”=
A quoted string and equal sign that specifies the name of the timeplate for a
particular non-scan event group. You must surround the name in double-quotes
and end it with an equal sign (=).
