Viewing and Saving the Results
- To take a look at the coverage statistics. Click on the REPORT STATISTICS
from the right side palette icon. The Statistics window will appear.

Figure 7
From the statistics window, you can see that the test coverage for this
design is 100%. However, the fault coverage was not 100%. This means that
some of the untestable faults are due to redundancy and they did not affect
the functionality of the design. For a more detailed explanation of the
categories in the above report, click
here.
- Take a look at the faults that were not covered in the test pattern
by clicking on the pallette icon REPORT FAULTS. Select the
ALL PINS button and select Untestable in the left hand side window.

Figure 8
You should get the result that is shown below:

Figure 9
Faults identified as UU correspond to output pins that are not used in
the design. The faults that are classified as RE are called redundant faults
and they are on pins of redundant logic gates.
- To save the patterns, click on the SAVE PATTERNS palette icon.
Specify to save the patterns in a file called ud_counter_fs.pats. This
saves all the patterns in the current pattern set and writes them, in the
default ASCII format, to the file ud_counter_fs.pats. This
will allow you to see the actual patterns generated. Other formats such
as verilog are also possible.
