Disabling STDOUT in timequest

Thanks Rysc,

Yea I thought maybe I should switch to using get_path. I'm using the "report_path" command which prints a bunch of stuff about a specified or partially specified path as well as returning a list containing the delay of the path. So I dont need to parse any files.

Overall I'm trying to find the propagation delays of input and output ports on the fpga and save them to a file. Then im trying to get this information into a timing diagram tool we use so that I can see if our fpga bitstream is conforming to the interface requirements of the external peripherals on the board.

So for an output port for example, I use report_path to calculate the following paths:

output_port -> its sourcing register,

sourcing register clock to out (Tco),

sourcing register -> its clock source

And then add them all up to get the total propagation delay for an output pin. Do you think this is a valid method?
