21.6.25 VERIFYTIMING
(Ask a Question)Description
"VERIFYTIMING" is a command tool used in configure_tool and run_tool. Use "configure_tool -name {VERIFYTIMING}" to configure "VERIFYTIMING" tool, run_tool passes a script file that contains timing specific Tcl commands to the VERIFYTIMING command and executes it.
-params
argument for multiple parameters.configure_tool -name {VERIFYTIMING} -params {parameter:value}
run_tool -name {VERIFYTIMING} -script {timing.tcl}
Where, timing.tcl is a script that contains the SmartTime-specific Tcl commands. You can include SmartTime-specific Tcl commands to create user path, to set and generate timing reports.

Example
The following example specifies text as the Report format and turns on report generation for Constraint_coverage report, the Max_Delay_Analysis Timing Report based on Slow process, Low Voltage, and High Temperature and the Max_Delay_Analysis Timing Violation Report based on Slow Process, Low Voltage, and High Temperature operating conditions. The script turns off Min_Delay_Analysis Timing Violation Report generation based on Slow process, Low Voltage, and High Temperature operating conditions. It also sets the maximum number of timing paths to 25 and maximum slack threshold of 0.04:
