1 Modelsim Timing Diagram Colour Scheme: Unit 1.13B

The document describes how to customize the color scheme for timing diagrams in ModelSim. It involves editing the preferences in the Tools menu to change the colors applied to different elements of wave windows, including logic values and other graphical items. Once the colors are configured, running a simulation will display the timing diagram with the customized colors. The goal is to set a color scheme that clearly shows the circuit behavior in the simulation screen for reporting results.

1 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:

Fig. 3 Colours for the remaining graphical 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.
