You can display a note on the Tcl console for every source line that the simulation encounters while running. This continuous display of encountered lines is called line tracing.

To turn on line tracing, use one of the following Tcl commands:

ltrace on
set_property line_tracing true [current_sim]

To turn off line tracing use one of the following Tcl commands:

ltrace off
set_property line_tracing false [current_sim]

You can display a note on the Tcl console for every process that the simulation encounters while running. This continuous display of encountered processes is called process tracing.

To turn on process tracing, use one of the following Tcl commands:

ptrace on
set_property process_tracing true [current_sim]

To turn off process tracing, use one of the following Tcl commands:

ptrace off
set_property process_tracing false [current_sim]
