SignalTapII

When in the deign process do we use SignalTap? What is its main function? Anything I need to know that I might not find in the manuals that you guys might know from experience? Thanks

Something like:

(* keep *) wire read_enable;

That makes read_enable the output of a combinatorial LUT, so it will affect synthesis a bit(logic can't be moved before/after this point, as it would change the behavior). This wire should now show-up as a post-fit node that can be tapped.
