Hi Eilert,
What you said is what I wanted.
Hans said 6.2 version, but I have only 6.1x version where there is no
"Save Dataset" command any more.
I can live up to 2 files, one is *.wlf, another is *.do, but after
loading *.do file, how can you load data from *.wlf file? The data is
generated by running a simulation, but by loading from *.wlf.
You are very appreciated If you can tell me how to load *.wlf file with
opend *.do file.
Weng
For 5.x version it really had "Save Dataset" option when open
"File/Save" manu.

Hi Hansn and Weng,
unless the 6.2d version is different in that point, all versions of
Modelsim I know just save the format information in a do-file when using
the file->save menu entry.
Of course it can be helpful, when it's ok to live with 2 files.
The original vcd-file, and the format do-file (manually extended with
the vcd2wlf comand at the top of the file.). My understanding of Wengs
question is, that he wants to save everything in one file, and expects
the wlf-file to do the trick.
For saving the wlf-file there used to be a "Save Dataset" command in the
File menu. I didn't find it in 6.0d anymore. But even then I think you
need 2 files, because the wlf-file only contains the bare data of the
simulated signals and knows nothing about signal combinations, colors,
cursors etc.. But I may be wrong...
Have a nice Simulation
Eilert

Using 6.2d, log signals, run your simulation, select the workspace window go
to file and hit the save option.... alternative have a look in the user
manual :-)

Hi,
Our hardware engineer got *.vcd file from Xilinx ChipScope, then I
swithced the *.vcd file to *.wlf file in ModelSim using vcd2wlf
command. After getting *.wlf file, I combined a lot of signals, added
color, changed their display format and so on. After that I would like
to save the file for later use. But I couldn't find any appropriate
tools in ModelSim to save the *.wlf file.
The only file that can be exported from ModelSim is *.bmp.
Do you know any better method?
Thank you.
Weng
