Compile and Simulate the Design

On the Processing menu, click Start Compilation to compile the design. After the
design is compiled, you can view the implemention in the RTL Viewer. You can also
view the resource usage in the Compilation Report.

After you compile your design, simulate the design in the ModelSim-Altera software
to generate a waveform display of the device behavior. Set up and simulate the design
in the ModelSim-Altera software by performing the following steps:

1. Unzip the altdll_altdq_dqs_ex1_msim.zip file to your preferred working

directory on your PC.

2. Start the ModelSim-Altera software.

3. On the File menu, click Change Directory.

4. Select the folder in which you unzipped the files in the

altdll_altdq_dqs_ex1_msim.zip

folder.

5. Click OK.

6. On the Tools menu, point to Tcl and click Execute Macro.

7. Select the altdll_altdq_dqs_ex1_msim.do file and click Open. This is a script file

for the ModelSim-Altera software to automate all the necessary settings for the
simulation.

8. Verify the results with the simulation waveform.

You can rearrange, remove and add signals, and change the radix by
modifying the script in the altdll_altdq_dqs_ex1_msim.do file.
