20.3.12 Cross-Probing in SmartPower

SmartPower supports cross probing with the other Designer tools. You must calculate your design's power consumption before you can cross probe effectively. See the Calculating Power section for more information.

To cross probe with the SmartPower tool:

1. View the detailed results of your power analysis in the Analysis tab of the SmartPower tool.
2. Select By Instance from the Breakdown drop-down list.
3. Open MultiView Navigator in Designer.
4. Select your component.
5. Click a sub-component in the grid to highlight the corresponding component in the ChipPlanner or PinEditor tool.
