Testing logic level of wires when running

Post by TCWORLD »

It would be a very helpful feature of the program if it were possible to see what state wires are when running, without having to add probes all over the place. Someone suggested before that the wires could be coloured to indicate the state of it, but that would not be possible with multibit wires.
I had a thought that maybe it would be possible to show this by informing you of the state in a text box when you hover the mouse cursor over a wire - In a similar to the texts that you get when hovering over a component. For multibit wires you could have a list of the state of each bit e.g: B0 = 1, B1 = 1 etc.

Just a thought, but it would be rather useful for finding bugs. :)

It would be nice if the scheme used by the HADES system was adopted. (see http://tams-www.informatik.uni-hamburg. ... index.html). It both shows levels on individual wires (including things such as tri-state) and also has a multi-bit colour code for busses.
