Step 2: Add Input & Output Nodes to the File

You can complete the VWF by entering the input node waveforms and the desired output node waveforms.

To add the input and output nodes, follow these steps:

  1. To find the node names you want to add to the file, choose Utility Windows > Node Finder (View menu). The Node Finder appears.

  2. In the Node Finder, select Pins: all in the Filter list.

  3. To find the nodes you want to add to the VWF, click Start.

    4. Show Me

  4. In the Nodes Found list, select the clk, clkx2, d, newt, reset, yvalid, next, and yn_out pins and drag them into the Name column of the VWF. You can select multiple contiguous names with Shift+Click or select multiple non-contiguous names with Ctrl+Click.

  5. Close the Node Finder.

Go to: You can also create custom filters for finding nodes in the design with the Node Finder. You can go to "Creating a Custom Filter" in Quartus II Help for specific instructions about creating a custom filter.
