Description
Stop writing the simulation values to the current Value Change Dump (VCD) file. This suspends the output of simulation information to the file until the process is resumed using the start_vcd command.
This Tcl command models the behavior of the Verilog $dumpoff system task.
Important: You must execute the
open_vcd command before using the stop_vcd command.Nothing is returned by the command.
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.Examples
The following example stops writing simulation values to the current VCD file:
