samples
Usage
| Name | Description |

[-verbose]

[<hw_probe>]
|
hw_probe object |
Description
Writes data samples from the specified hw_probe object on the current hw_ila.
The number of captured samples returned from the specified probe is equal to the DATA_DEPTH property of the ILA core. The default data depth is 1024 samples. Data values are returned in the radix specified for the hw_probe, as determined by the DISPLAY_RADIX property.
Tip: For any samples to be returned, data must have been captured by the specified port.
The values are listed to the standard output, or can be captured to a Tcl variable for post-processing, or output to a file.
The following is an example Tcl script that lists the data samples from hw_probes of interest:
# Define a list of probes to get the data samples from
set probeList [get_hw_probes *AR*]
#Specify the radix for the return values
set_property DISPLAY_RADIX BINARY [get_hw_probes *AR*]
# Define a filename to write data to
set fileName C:/Data/probeData1.txt
# Open the specified file in write mode
set FH [open $fileName w]
# Write probe data for each probe
foreach x $probeList {
puts $FH "$x:"
puts $FH [list_hw_samples $x]
}
# Close the output file
close $FH
puts "Probe data written to $fileName\n"This command returns the requested output, or returns an error if it fails.
Arguments
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the
set_msg_config command.<hw_probe> - List the data samples for the specified hw_probe on the current hw_ila. The probe must be specified as an object returned by the get_hw_probes command.
Examples
The following example returns the data samples for the specified probe:
list_hw_samples [get_hw_probes *probe18]
