AN1154 - APPLICATION NOTE
Simulating Your Design Using ABEL Simulation
You can do a very simplistic functional simulation of the blocks that make up the PLD using the simulator
that is included with PSDabel. It is important to note that only the functions that are generated within the
.abl file can be simulated using test vectors at the end of the file. For chip-level functional simulation, you
must have the version of PSDsoft that includes the PSDsilosIII simulation software. To use the simulator
that comes with PSDabel, take the following steps:
1. Click on the Options menu, as shown in Figure 13, which brings up the “Options” dialog box.

2. Click on the “Simulator Options” tab, and set up the window, as shown in Figure 14: under “Format”,
3. Click on the OK button to save your changes.

choose Table format. Ensure that the X-value 0 and Z-value 0 are selected in their respective boxes,
and that Brief trace is selected in the “Trace” box. For the “Register” box, select the Register power-
up 0, and make sure that the “Use .TMV file” box is not checked.
