Report Net Delay Dialog Box

You open this dialog box by double-clicking Report Net Delay in the Tasks pane in the Timing Analyzer.

Allows you to configure and display a customized report that details the results of net delay analysis as defined by timing constraints and exceptions. Each set_net_delay command is treated as a separate analysis and report_net_delay reports the results of all set_net_delay commands in a single report. The report contains each set_net_delay command with the worst case slack result followed by the results of each edge matching the criteria set by that set_net_delay command. These results are ordered based on the slack value.

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.
