Cross probing helps you correlate the waveforms in the viewer to the wires in the Vitis Model Composer model.

You can cross probe signals between the Waveform Viewer, and the model in the following ways:

  • To cross probe a signal from the Waveform Viewer to the Model Composer model, select one or more signal names in the Waveform Viewer. Use Shift+click or Ctrl+click to select multiple signal names (Ctrl+A to select all).

    The selected signals are highlighted in orange in the Model Composer model.

    To unhighlight a signal you have highlighted in the Model Composer model, Ctrl+click the signal name in the Waveform Viewer. The signal is unhighlighted in the Model Composer model.

  • To cross probe a signal from the Model Composer model to the Waveform Viewer:
    1. With the Waveform Viewer open, select a signal in the Model Composer model.

      You can also select multiple signals by using Shift+click to select additional signals.

    2. Right-click one of the selected signals in the Model Composer model and select Xilinx Highlight in Viewer in the right-click menu.
      Note: If you select a signal that is not currently displayed in the Waveform Viewer, the Xilinx Highlight in Viewer entry will not appear in the right-click menu.
