12 years agoIf you want to see the same sorts of signals as you do in Modelsim, then you should try using SignalTap II in your hardware.
1. In Quartus, select Tools->SignalTap II Logic Analyzer. 2. The GUI will start with the "Setup" tab shown. Double click in the area that says "Double-click to add nodes" 3. In the Filter menu, select SignalTap II: Design Entry (all names), and then click on the List button. 4. Double click on the nodes you want to probe - they'll move to the right-side of the GUI. Click Ok. 5. Click the '...' button next to the "Clock" on the right-side of the main GUI. Select the clock signal. 6. Select a sample depth of 1K 7. Save the SignalTap II instance, and select OK when it asks if you should add it to the project. 8. Re-synthesize the design. 9. Download the design 10. Start SignalTap II and it will detect the instance in your design. 11. Set a trigger condition and capture a trace. The trace should look like the Modelsim plots. I just typed the above in from memory, so I've likely missed a couple of steps. The Quartus Handbook has a pretty good description of the process. Cheers, Dave
