Report Max Skew Dialog Box (report_max_skew)

You open this dialog box by double-clicking Report Max Skew in the Tasks pane in the TimeQuest Timing Analyzer.

Allows you to configure and display a customized report that details the results of maximum skew analysis as defined by timing constraints and exceptions.

Note: You can click the Pushpin button to keep the Report Timing dialog box open after you generate a report. You can use this feature to fine tune your report settings or quickly create additional reports. You can click Close to close the dialog box at any time.

Paths

Allows you to specify the number of timing paths to report (the default is 1) and to direct the TimeQuest analyzer to report only paths with a slack value. You can specify both of these settings if you want to report n paths with slack less than 0.
