You can import a snapshot containing power values calculated from a different XPE spreadsheet or power values calculated when the design is implemented in the ISE Design Suite or the Vivado Design Suite.
Note: When you import power information into the Power Comparison Snapshots sheet, the FPGA or SoC represented in the imported data does not have to match the device specified in the current XPE spreadsheet.
To import a snapshot into the Power Comparison Snapshots sheet:
  1. Click the Import button at the top of the Power Comparison Snapshots sheet.


    A snapshot for the current XPE spreadsheet will appear in the far right column of the table in the sheet.

  2. In the Select XPE File to Import dialog box, select the following in the Files of type box:
    • XPE Workbook (*.xls*), if you are importing information from a different XPE spreadsheet.
    • Power Report (*.pwr), if you are importing information from a Power Report generated within the ISE Design Suite or the Vivado Design Suite.
  3. Browse to the file you will import and click Open.

    A snapshot appears in the far right column of the table in the Power Comparison Snapshots sheet. If desired, rename the snapshot at the top row of the table.
