ModelSim Colour Scheme

The document provides instructions for customizing the color scheme in ModelSim timing diagrams. It instructs the user to edit the preferences in the Tools menu to change the colors applied to logic values and other waveform items in timing diagrams. After making the color changes, running a simulation will produce a timing diagram with the customized colors, like the example figure shown, to make circuit behavior clearer when reported in solution files.

ModelSim timing diagram colour scheme


1) Install ModelSim following indications in Unit 1.13B

2) Edit preferences:

Fig. 1 Click on the Tools tab, and then on Edit preferences

3) Go down to Wave Windows and take a look the colour applied to every item which conforms the
wave windows where the timing diagrams will be sketched. Change the colour of the logic values.

4) Change the colour of the other items:

5) Run a simulation and check how a timing diagram looks like.

So that a given timing diagram will look like the one represented in Fig. 4. Use comments, so that it becomes
clear to the reader that you comprehend what exactly in going on in the circuit.

Use this scheme or a similar one with the white background always in any of your simulations.
