Command Dictionary
Set Self Initialization
Tools Supported: FlexTest
Scope: Setup, ATPG, and Fault modes
Usage
SET SElf Initialization ON | OFf
Description
Specifies whether FlexTest turns on/off self-initializing sequence behavior.
In order to enable/disable generation or simulation of self-initializing sequences,
the Set Self Initialization command must be issued prior to an ATPG run. The
self-initialization setting is then valid until the command is re-issued.
You can save self-initializing pattern boundary information by writing patterns in
ASCII format (the term pattern is used to denote a self-initializing boundary to be
consistent with FastScan). Each self-initializing boundary starts at the
PATTERN=nnn keyword and ends at the next occurrence of the PATTERN
statement. Each pattern may have one or more cycles, where the cycle number is
reset to zero at the beginning of the pattern.
When reading patterns, FlexTest reads in self-initializing information if it is
present in the pattern file (and assuming Set Self Initialization On). In this case,
the pattern file has additional statistics regarding the total number of self-
initializing test patterns. The Report Statistics command displays the total number
of test patterns in addition to the total cycle count. This report will include the
following information:
...
Total Test Patterns = nnn
...
Total Test Patterns Generated = nnn
Total Test Patterns Simulated = nnn
