Hardware Simulator Error: No output file specified

[Smitty5569]

I'm trying to run a script but whenever I attempt to run it I get an error saying "No output file specified". I'm sure I just have to tell simulator where to output the results but I couldn't figure out how. I've tried searching Google, I tried searching the forums but I haven't had any luck.

Be sure that use use File -> Load Script (or the scroll-looking icon) when loading .tst files.

Also, did you edit the contents of Not.tst?
What is suspicious is that it looks like you have Not.hdl open, but the contents of Not.tst do not look like the original. It also looks like you changed the chip specification header (replacing in with a).

In other words, if you are editing the tst files, don't.

(If you're experimenting, I understand, but then be sure your tst scripts include the necessary instructions to test your chip.)

Not.tst should read:

    load Not.hdl,
    output-file Not.out,
    compare-to Not.cmp,
    output-list in%B3.1.3 out%B3.1.3;
    ...

You can comment out the "compare-to" command to get the a test to run to completion without checking for errors.

Hint: You can hit "run" and "step" buttons after a test stops with a miscompare. This will continue the test to the next miscompare. It is often useful to see several miscompares to detect a problem pattern.

Test syntax is in Appendix B.
