6.4.2 Suppressing Scalar Generation

If you do not want auto-generated scalars to appear in the test report, you can use the NoScalars() function in a Suppress column of the testplan.

This function takes a single argument that is the reference designator of the source or load for the scalar that you want to suppress.

  • A reference designator of a DVM source or load, such as V2 or I1
  • A symbolic reference designator, such as OUTPUT:n or INPUT:n

After the simulation completes, DVM skips the scalar generation for the specified source or load designator.

Valid NoScalar() function calls include the following:

  • NoScalars(OUTPUT:1)
  • NoScalars(INPUT:1)
  • NoScalars(V2)
  • NoScalars(I1)

For details on how to use the NoSpecs() function in a testplan, see 6.4.3 Suppressing Specification Generation. For syntax information, see NoScalars() in the DVM testplan documentation.
