13 years agoWaveform File not Running Under Simulation
Hi All,
I am completely new to this forum and to the Quartus II software and am seeking a bit of guidance. I have created an encoder that generates partity bits based upon XOR gates. I have 3 input pins and 3 output pins. When I compile the initial encoder, i get no errors reported. I have now created a vector waveform file to check that the encoder is operating correctly by simulating all possible inputs. All input and outpins are present in the waveform file, with input pin 1 being set a clock value every 50us, pin 2 ever 100us, and pin 3 every 200us. I have ensured that the following is checked 'Overwrite Simualtion Input File with Simualtion Results' and I have made the new vector waveform file the input for the encoder under simulator settings. When i try to run the simulation, I get the following error.Info: *******************************************************************

I have attached my project file in the .ZIP attached which may help to illustrate the problem. I am expecting the waveform output pins to change to simulate the different parity bits that have been generated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
