Clock Regions View

The Clock Regions view provides a tabular representation of the site type content of each

clock region

in

the currently selected Target Device, and allows the user to toggle the visibility of the overlay within the

Floorplanner view

for each Clock Region. The view’s table will remain empty until the currently active

Implementation has been prepared (had the Run Prepare flow step completed).

By default, the Clock Regions view is included in the

Floorplanner perspective

. To add the view to the

current perspective, select Window Show View Other. . . Achronix Clock Regions.

NOTE

Only the 22iHD devices will have clock regions. The 22iHP devices, being asynchronous,
will not have clock regions, and thus will leave the table empty.
