    The Expanded Path Summary provides a summary of all parallel paths for the selected path. The Path Profile chart shows the percentage of time taken by cells and nets for the selected path. If no parallel path is selected in this view, the Path Profile shows the percentage for all paths. By default, SmartTime shows only one path for each Expanded Path. To change this default, use the SmartTime Options dialog box.

    The Expanded Path View includes a schematic of the path and a path profile chart for the paths selected in the Expanded Path Summary.
