Hi all. I'm brand new in fpga subject so please be patient :P My problem is about to use stimulatorin waveform. Well, exactly- there is no such thing as stimulator as it was in ahdl
7.1. How to add it then ? Please help me because w/o it I won't be able to do my project. Thanks
Choose a language, vhdl or verilog. Aldec is a simulator that can use either. Write some synthesis code. Write a testbench.

Mike, in waveform there is no "stimulator" label. I just wanted to know if there is possibility to add there stimulators ? Even if i wrote testbech, there is no such thing as "stimulator" labels, as it was in previous versions.
Greetings
I believe that Active-HDL v7.3 now uses the "Accelerated Waveform Viewer" by default instead of the old waveform viewer. That accelerated viewer is faster but lacks some feature of the old viewer, such as stimulators. There is a way to use the old waveform viewer however:
As Mike said, you can always create your own stimulus in VHDL, which is better in the long run. I see stimulators as a way to run a quick and dirty simulation but I don't think it should be used throughout the project as it's less portable. You just got a proof of that with the change to the accelerated waveform viewer.
