Use file I/O to read/write test bench data

Create and use data files for reading and writing test bench input and output data

Model Configuration Pane: Test Bench

Description

Create and use data files for reading and writing test bench input and output data.

Dependencies

This option is disabled if you select the entire model. Select the DUT instead for Generate HDL for setting.

Settings

On (default) | Off
On

Create and use data files for reading and writing test bench input and output data.

Off

Use constants in the test bench for DUT stimulus and reference data.

Tips

To set this property, use hdlset_param or makehdltb. To view the property value, use hdlget_param.

For example, you can specify this parameter for the symmetric_fir subsystem inside the sfir_fixed model using either of these methods.

  • Pass the property as an argument to the makehdltb function.

    makehdltb('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir', ... 
                'UseFileIOInTestBench', 'off')
  • When you use hdlset_param, you can set the parameter on the model and then generate HDL code using makehdltb.

    hdlset_param('sfir_fixed', 'UseFileIOInTestBench', 'off')
    makehdltb('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir')
