To enable pipelining for the Equality object:

After you finalize the advanced trigger condition setup, you can disable runtime configuration and, if necessary, enable pipelining for the Equality object by performing the following steps:

  1. If you have not already done so, open one or more Advanced Trigger tabs.
  2. In the Advanced Trigger Condition Editor pane, select the Equality object, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to edit the Equality object.
  3. In the Object Properties dialog box, click the Parameters tab.
  4. In the Existing parameter settings list, select Comparison Type.
  5. To disable runtime configuration, turn off Allow this setting to be configurable at runtime.
    Note:

    Disabling runtime configuration for a Comparison object reduces the logic cell usage of the object.

  6. If the Timing Analyzer results indicate that the Equality object is on the critical path for the design, enable pipelining by clicking Pipeline in the Existing Parameter Settings list and specify the number of clock cycles of latency by typing a value in the Setting list.
    Note:

    Enabling pipelining for a Comparison object reduces register-to-register latency within the object, which can remove the object from the critical path.



  7. In the Advanced Trigger Condition Editor pane, as shown in the image above, the background of the symbol in the center of the Equality object is unavailable to indicate the object is not configurable at run-time. The pipeline value appears after the # symbol in the top-right corner of the Equality object. The same value and # symbol combination appears after the equal sign in the equation in the top left-hand corner of the Advanced Trigger Condition Editor pane.
