A Simulation Problem

[smilebamboo]

I am using XILINX ISE 6.1 and Modelsim_xe for simulation. when I run the
simulation I get follwoing warning.

Warning: There is an 'U'|'X'|'W'|'Z'|'-' in an arithmetic operand, the
result will be 'X'(es).
Now when I see the WAVE window I get 'Z' in every signal. How do I find
out what is creating the problem.

Thanks for any help.

Generally, you only need to post one request, not several with the same
question.

This means that one of your are uninitialised when used in an arithmetic
operation. This can be virtually anything, anywhere you use operators
such as +, -, =, >, etc. Type conversions will also trigger this error.

The usual way to remove this error is to make sure all your signals have
well defined values at startup. Go through your list of waves and for
each uninitialised signal, make sure that it is reset properbly.

Now when I see the WAVE window I get 'Z' in every signal. How do I find
out what is creating the problem.

This is sortof strange. I don't belive I have ever seen Z's appear
because of errors - usually it's either 'U' or 'X' (uninitialised or
undefined/conflicting values). Z usually means a tristate buffer in the
high impedance state, and it should only occur when you explicitly drive
your tristate buffer to 'Z'.

Thanks for any help.

It's not much, but I hope I can be of some assitance.

Hi smilebambo, This error produce when you have incorrect initialize your
variables or constants before useing them. This may be, same because you
use tri-state buffer or use incorrect assignment.

Thank you again!
And now I have get what is the wrong I with!
Happy to everybody!
