The time set declaration specifies the list of time set references the pattern vectors use using the following syntax:
where item<n> is a valid identifier.
Conditions
The following conditions apply to the time set declaration:
- The time set declaration must be specified before the pattern declaration.
- You can include multiple time set declarations on the same or separate lines.
- You cannot duplicate items in a time set declaration.

- Pattern Declaration
The required pattern declaration defines the sequence of pattern vectors and defines the pins and pin groups to which the pattern applies using the following syntax:
- Pattern Grid View
Click the Grid tab on the pattern document toolbar to launch the pattern grid view. Use this view to see components of the binary pattern file, including time sets, labels, opcodes, vector numbers, pin state data that indicates drives and compares, comments for each vector, exported labels, and comments from the top of the file. Use the pattern waveform view for a graph-based representation of the pattern. You can select and right-click vectors in the pattern grid view and select Show Vectors in Waveform View from the context menu to launch the pattern waveform view. You can also click the Waveform tab on the pattern document toolbar to launch the pattern waveform view. An asterisk (*) next to a filename in the Project Explorer window and in the document tab indicates that the file has been modified but not saved.
- Timing
Use the timing document to view, create, modify, save, and apply timing files (.digitiming). Timing files include period, edge multiplier (edge x), drive format, and edge information for pattern execution. Timing files currently can contain only one timing sheet, which is a collection of time sets. An asterisk (*) next to a filename in the Project Explorer window and in the document tab indicates that the file has been modified but not saved.
