Tracing HDL items with the Dataflow window

The Dataflow window is linked with the Signals window and the Process window. To examine a particular process in the Dataflow window, click on the process name in the Process window. To examine a particular HDL item in the Dataflow window, click on the item name in the Signals window.

With a signal in the center of the Dataflow window, you can:

• click once on a process name in the Dataflow window to make the Source, Process, Signals, and Variable windows update to show that process,
• click twice on a process name in the Dataflow window to move the process to the center of the Dataflow window

With a process in the center of the Dataflow window, you can:

• click twice on an item name to move that item to the center of the Dataflow window.

The backward and forward buttons on the toolbar are analogous to Back and Forward buttons in a web browser. They move backward or forward through previous views of the dataflow.

	move backward through dataflow views
	move forward through dataflow views

The Dataflow window will display the current process when you single-step or when ModelSim hits a breakpoint.
