Description

Selects the specified object in the Waveform window of the Vivado IDE. This command is for selecting displayed items in the Waveform window only, and is similar to the select_objects command in the Vivado IDE.
Note: Use the get_hdl_objects command to select simulation objects in the open simulation, or current_sim.
Unselect selected objects using the select_wave_objects command with an empty string:
select_wave_objects ""

This command returns nothing if successful, 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.

<items> - (Required) Specifies one or more items in the Waveform window to be selected. Items are specified by name. Specifying an empty string unselects all currently selected waveform objects.

Examples

The following example selects the specified site on the device:
select_wave_objects {sys_clk_p sysc_clk_n}
