Abstract
Having become familiar with the waveform terminology and concepts we described in Chapter 3, we can now begin to apply these concepts to constructing the particular waveform elements we require, using actual WAVES and VHDL constructs. Recall that in the earlier chapters, we described certain elements of WAVES as being reusable. That is, they could be applied in multiple instances, for numerous tests, to form portions of a waveform. Conversely, other elements were more test-specific, applying to a particular instance of waveform generation for a particular test. In this chapter we describe the construction process for the reusable elements of WAVES in detail, describing how to implement these foundation waveform concepts in actual WAVES and VHDL constructs.
Understanding the elements we work with
