The "Type" column in the report uses a symbol to indicate what type of delay occurs at that point in the
path.
Possible "Type" values are:
The values of the "-from", "-to", and "-through" options are either collections or a Tcl list of wildcards used
to create collections of appropriate types. The values used must follow standard Tcl or
TimeQuest-extension substitution rules. See the help for use_timequest_style_escaping for details.
Example
project_open my_project
# Always create the netlist first
create_timing_netlist
read_sdc my_project.sdc
update_timing_netlist
# Run a setup analysis between nodes "foo" and "bar",
# reporting the worst-case slack if a path is found.
set my_list [report_timing -from foo -to bar]
set num_paths [lindex $my_list 0]
set wc_slack [lindex $my_list 1]
if { $num_paths > 0 } {
puts "Worst case slack -from foo -to bar is $wc_slack"
}
