Description

Set or get the current wave configuration object for the current simulation.

In the Vivado® simulator GUI, you can work with a waveform to analyze your design and debug your code. A wave configuration displays with top-level HDL objects, and can be further populated using commands like add_wave and add_wave_divider.

This command returns the name of the current wave configuration object.

Arguments

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

<wcfgObj> - (Optional) Specify a wave configuration object to set as the current wave configuration. The wave configuration object can either be specified by name, or as an object returned by the get_wave_configs command.

Examples

The following example gets the testbench wave config object and makes it the current wave configuration in the simulation:
