    If you open it from the right-click menu, the Waveform Viewer opens with the following display:

    • If you are opening the Waveform Viewer for this design for the first time, it shows only the clock signal waveforms and hides all others. You can add the signals from your design that you want to monitor in Waveform Viewer display. Refer to Adding Signals to the Waveform Viewer Display.

    • If you previously monitored signals in the Waveform Viewer and saved the data, the viewer opens with those signal names. It also displays the waveforms from your last session.

    • If you previously monitored signals in the Waveform Viewer for this design, you might not be able to access the saved data. This can occur, for example, if you move the model’s SLX file to a different directory and open it there. In this case, the Waveform Viewer opens and displays only the signal names you monitored when you last saved the model. The Waveform Viewer does not show the waveforms for the monitored signals until you re-simulate the model.

    • Opening after simulation:

      If you previously monitored signals in the Waveform Viewer for your design, the Waveform Viewer opens automatically when you simulate your model.
