Providing SDF standard statements in the simulation

As of SDF V4.1 the SDF standard statements in the syntax file are defined by SDF. They are no longer assigned to the SDF-U syntax file and cannot be copied into the syntax file of the application program. Therefore, when standard statements are used in the simulation, a SDF parameter file must be specified which, as basic system syntax file, contains the syntax file.

In order to use the standard statements in SDF-SIM, it is necessary to carry out the following steps:

• Create a parameter file which contains the syntax file of SDF as basic system syntax file. If the syntax file of the application program is a subsystem syntax file, it must be entered in the SDF parameter file (see “Creating a SDF parameter file with the help of SDF-SIM”).

• Start SDF-SIM (START-SDF-SIM command)

• Specify simulation environment and text object,

  • if the syntax file of the application program is a system syntax file:

    //DEFINE-ENVIRONMENT PARAMETER-FILE=MY-PARAMETER-FILE
    //DEFINE-TEST-OBJECT *STMT(PROGRAM-NAME=<internal-program-name>)

  • if the syntax file of the application program is a user syntax file:

    //DEFINE-ENVIRONMENT PARAMETER-FILE=MY-PARAMETER-FILE, USER=<program-syntax-file>
    //DEFINE-TEST-OBJECT *STMT(PROGRAM-NAME=<name>,LAYOUT=<layout>)

• Start simulation (//START-SIMULATION).
  Then the SDF standard statements are available in addition to the statements of the application program.

Creating a SDF parameter file with the help of SDF-SIM

Nonprivileged users can also use the MODIFY-SDF-PARAMETERS command in SDF-SIM to create a SDF parameter file for the simulation:
