Analyze Atpg Constraints
Tools Supported: FastScan and FlexTest
Scope: Atpg, Fault, and Good modes
Usage
For FastScan
ANAlyze ATpg Constraints {-AUto | -ALl | [{pin_pathname | gate_id# |
function_name}... [-Satisfy | -Exclusive]]} [-Bus]
For FlexTest
ANAlyze ATpg Constraints {-AUto | -ALl | {pin_pathname | gate_id# |
function_name}...} [-Bus]
Description
Specifies for FastScan or FlexTest to check the ATPG constraints you’ve created
for their satisfiability or for their mutual exclusivity.
If you issue the Analyze Atpg Constraints command without any arguments, the
default is -All.
When the command finishes, the tool displays a message indicating whether the
analysis passed, failed, or aborted the ATPG constraint analysis.
Arguments
The following lists the three methods for naming the objects for which you wish
to analyze the constraints. You can use any number of the three argument choices,
in any order.
FastScan Only - If you only specify an object name when you issue this
command, by default FastScan performs the satisfiability (-Satisfy) analysis.
-Auto
An optional switch that automatically tries to locate the atpg constraint that
cannot be satisfied. The analysis checks to see if any single constraint cannot
be satisfied. Each constraint which cannot be satisfied (given the current abort
limit and other restrictions) is reported. Sometimes, each constraint can be
