How can I simulate with waveform in Quartus 11.0+?
- Altera_Forum
they have enabled the waveform editing functionality in the latest versions of ModelSim ASE, but its not as straight forward as the old vwf editor
your best bet is learning HDL test benches - Altera_Forum
In my understanding, "HDL test bench" means read input stimulis from a text file,and the corresponding outputs will be put into a text file. am I correct?
- Altera_Forum
you could do it that way
but you can also simply provide stimulus via HDL directly. you generate the input vectors using non-synthesizable constructs like wait statements. for example, you can generate a clock by inverting a signal and waiting period/2 seconds in an infinite loop using your HDL test bench you can still see what the input stimulus and output response look like in a graphical waveform, generating the stimulus is just code instead of graphical - Altera_Forum
