Quartus. And yes I am following a lab manual and I am trying to figure out what all is supp0osed to be included say with rogramming a circuit. i.e., If I am told to design a circuit for instance. I need a circuit to provide a high when AB & ABC + !AB + C is true. I know how to write it using AHDL, but when I write it as a code, what is next, do I set it up for a timing analysis or can I actually build the circuit and see it perform with actual devices or can I set it up like multisim using schematic drawing and watch it perform. I am lost on seeing whether my programming is causing the circuit to actually perform the way that I wrote it. I guess that I am trying to figure out the steps and the process of actually completing or using the software to its full capacity. I hope I haven't confused you (as I am now confused). But maybe you can help???????
