Rapid Compile with new signal in signaltap in a form of pre_synthesis

Hi, I am using the rapid compile function in the signal tap LA. When I add new signal in the tap and these new signals are in the list of post-fitting nodes, I can use the rapid complie without any...

    Your question isn't entirely clear, but yes, you'd have to recompile the design to include pre-synthesis nodes in Signal Tap (assuming we're talking about Pro here).

    I'm not sure what you mean by "bring unknown error". Is your concern that the design functionality may change because you have to recompile? A bigger issue may be meeting timing closure (which could appear as functional issues), but if your source code hasn't changed and you just recompile to tap additional signals in Signal Tap, that typically won't affect functionality.
