Command Line Examples

The following command produces a standard report, mydesign.pwr, in which the VCD file specifies the activity rates and frequencies of signals. The output loading has not been changed; all outputs assume the default loading of 10pF. The design is for FPGAs.

xpwr mydesign.ncd mydesign.pcf -s timesim.vcd

The following command does all of the above and generates a settings file called mysettings.xml. The settings file contains all of the information from the VCD file.

xpwr mydesign.ncd mydesign.pcf -s timesim.vcd -wx mysettings.xml

The following command does all of the above and generates a detailed (verbose) report instead of a standard report. The verbose report is limited to 100 lines.

xpwr mydesign.ncd mydesign.pcf -v -l 100 -s timesim.vcd -wx mysettings.xml
