  • Patent number: 5991533
    Abstract: A verification support system having the following characteristics: (1) Before actually making a CPU mounted circuit, virtually make a CPU mounted circuit model and an ICE model and perform verification of the CPU mounted circuit mode with logic simulation, by using the ICE model; (2) When an error is found in the verification of a program using logic simulation, the execution and verification of the steps up to one step before the error point is omitted and execution and verification are performed immediately from the error point, for the purpose of error correction; (3) A waveform obtained as a result of logic simulation and a partially enlarged waveform thereof are displayed on different display regions; (4) A display region for displaying a waveform obtained as a result of logic simulation every hour and a display region for saving a displayed waveform obtained when logic simulation is stopped, are provided separately; (5) When there are a plurality of target logic models, waveforms of logic simulation re

  • Patent number: 5758123
    Abstract: A verification support system wherein before a CPU mounted circuit is actually made such circuit model and an ICE model are made virtually and verification of such circuit model is performed using logic simulation on the ICE model; and when an error is found execution and verification up to the error point are omitted and are performed immediately after the error point to correct the error. A waveform, obtained by logic simulation, and a partially enlarged waveform thereof are displayed on different display regions for each time period and a display region is provided for saving a displayed waveform obtained when logic simulation is stopped. In another aspect of the invention, before an actual system is made by PLC, such PLC model is verified, and a test program is carried out to obtain verification when a process model is detached from the PLC model, and a sequence program is carried out by using a general purpose simulator with a debugging function.
