Scansion 1.09

Scansion offers relief for Mac users who are tired of logging into Linux machines or relying on X11 based applications for their modeling analysis.

But its more than just a VCD viewer in a fancy new wrapper. Scansion also adds the ability to view higher abstraction transaction modeling events, tracing transactions as they flow through a system.

This makes it the ideal companion for modeling in SystemC and other environments that support higher level simulations.

Here are some key features of "Scansion":

· Reads standard Value Change Dump (VCD) files for logic waveforms.
· Reads open XML format for transaction traces.
· 64 bit support for handling very large files.
· iChat Theater support to allow sharing your waveforms interactively in an iChat video conference.
· Support for multiple cursors and time delta measurements.
· Tab support facilitate multiple views within the same model.
· A unique "Browse" mode that lets the user view all of the members of a selected module without having to explicitly add those traces. Makes finding what you are looking for much faster.
· Custom colorization for waveforms, transactions and highlighting.
· Display of analog waveforms for viewing mixed-signal data.
· Exporting to a variety of image file formats.
· Scansion offers a rather intuitive GUI.
· Universal Binary.

Limitations:

· Size limited.

Bug Fixes:
· Addresses problems displaying inferred structures from dot separated variables in VCD files.

Improvements:
· Members of inferred structures will now show their full hierarchical name within the structure(s) in the Trace Inspector.
· Added an option in the General Preferences to disable inferred structures from dot separated variable names.
· Modified the default colors for valid logic states and structures to be less harsh.
