Does anyone have any recommendations for a good VCD file viewer? I am
using the free Icarus verilog simulator and a VCD viewer called WaveVCD.
WaveVCD is not bad for a free product but it does give some problems
occasionally. Appreciate if some of you can share your experiences about
the tools that you find useful.

Thanks,
David

gtkwave is a pretty good one and supports a range of file formats.

and can be downloaded from http://www.syncad.com/. It's available

Do any of these viewers support the .trn style files from NC-Verilog?

Thanks!

John Providenza

The only .trn viewer I know of is SimVision. However, you could
generate VCD files in your NC-Verilog simulation, and then view the
simulation in any of the above VCD viewers.
