Objects list at ModelSim

[=?iso-8859-1?q?Guilherme_Corr=EAa?=]

Hi,

When Quartus II synthesizes the VHDL description and calls ModelSim to
the simulation, I can see a list in the window Workspace with a
top-level-hierarchy element (with my project's name). Under this
element I have all the FPGA's internal signals that I can see in the
window called Objects. If I select any internal signal of this list, I
have many other elements in the object list.

I would like to know what is the difference between the signals in the
Objects window when I select the top-level element and the signals in
the Objects window when I select any sub-element under the top-level
element in the Workspace window.

Thanks a lot!
Guilherme Corrêa.

I would like to know what is the difference between the signals in the

Objects window when I select the top-level element and the signals in
the Objects window when I select any sub-element under the top-level
element in the Workspace window.

The signals you see listed in the 'Objects' window are only those
signals that are defined at that level of the hierarchy.
