Capture Signals

  1. Configure IDV Tool for signal capturing. In the project view, go to the Rulekit Settings tab (opened by default) and configure the following:

    • Check Use SGPIO for digital signal capturing and, if needed, change default parameters.

    • (Optional) Check Enable pre-trigger capture history for all digital and analog signals.

    • (Optional) Configure ADC Resolution. Lower values help reduce the noise on the analog channels.

      rulekit_settings

    Press Ctrl+S to save the changes.

  2. In the main toolbar, specify the capture time and click capture_button to start capturing signals.

    capture_time

  3. Power on the target system.

    Upon the first signal change, the IDV Tool triggers and starts collecting all digital logic and analog voltage changes.

    After the power-on cycle completes, the tool automatically analyzes all captures against specs with all pass/fail results instantly reported to the console.

  4. Once the capture is ready, Timeline Viewer opens.

    If the view is not opened automatically, go to Project Explorer, expand captures folder under your project instance, and double-click a .vcd file.

Now you can proceed with analyzing captured signals.
