SYNOPSIS

       INIT("pattern_date","ident","value");

PARAMETERS

       pattern_date
		 : pattern date which may be either : integer (absolute date) or + integer (relative date, the date of the current  pattern  (last
		 modified  using  INIT or AFFECT) is the reference). All dates are supposed to be expressed in the same time unit which may be set
		 only once using SETTUNIT.

       ident	 Either the name of a bused register or a simple register. Path-name must be specified by the syntax : instance1.instance11.name

       value	 The value associated with the signal which may be either a based number (ex.  0B011 or 0H3F) or a decimal.

DESCRIPTION

       Initialize registers at indicated values and set current pattern.

EXAMPLE

       SETTUNIT("ns");
       INIT( "25","regt","0B1");
       INIT("+50","y 3 downto 0","0xF");

       result :
       At simulation time 25 ns, the register named regt receive "1"
	    regt <= B"1" ;
       <   25 ns> : .............;

       At simulation time +50 ns, (related to the date of the current pattern),
       the vector y is affected with the value 15 in decimal or F in hexadecimal.
	    regt <= X"F" ;
       <   75 ns> : .............;

SYNOPSIS

       AFFECT ("pattern_date", "ident", "value");

PARAMETERS

       pattern_date
		 : pattern date which may be either : integer (absolute date) or + integer (relative date, the date of the current  pattern  (last
		 modified  using  INIT or AFFECT) is the reference). All dates are supposed to be expressed in the same time unit which may be set
		 only once using SETTUNIT.

       ident	 Either the name of a bused signal or a scalar. Vectors must be referenced with their names only, or bit per bit. For example,	if
		 b(3 downto 0) exists, you can affect "b", "b(3)" or "b 3".  Path-name must be specified by the syntax : instance1.instance11.name

       value	 The  value associated with the signal which may be either a based number (ex. binary: 0b011 ,hexa:  0x3F, octal: 0o56) or a deci-
		 mal number. Unknown value (value where a '*' appears), can be used when dealing with an  output,  a  signal,  a  register  or	an
		 input/output  when  this last one is to be tested.  Star ('*') can appears everywhere in a BASED number, but the result will be a
		 "full star" value. (For example, "0B0*10" and "0B***" would give the same result.) AFFECT is doing automatically the  transforma-
		 tion  of  the value into a "forced" value or a "tested" value except for the bidirectional connectors affectation. When and bidi-
		 rectional is to be tested, a '?' character must be added before the value (example : "?0x45f*" instead of "0x45f*").

DESCRIPTION

       "Affect" a value to a signal. This value will be apllied to the signal, at the specified simulation date, until the end of  the	simulation
       or  until  a new value is affected to the signal. Beware : Inputs have to be affected at the begining of the simulation (first pattern at 0
       ps). By default, signals (except Inputs) are affected with a "full star" value at the first pattern.

       This fonction also set the current pattern.

EXAMPLES

       SETTUNIT("ps");
       AFFECT ("5", "b", "0B1");
       result : 	   b
       <      5 ps> :.....1...;

       At simulation date 0 ps the signal b(3 downto 0) receives the value "0001".  This value will be kept until the end of the simulation if	no
       more affectation is made.

       SETTUNIT("ns");
       AFFECT ("0", "b", "0B0");
       AFFECT ("2", "b", "0B1");
       result : 	   b
       <      0 ns> :.....0...;
       <      2 ns> :.....1...;
