An improved approach is provided to generate and display waveform data, where data reduction is intelligently applied to create filtered waveform data. By reducing the quantity of the waveform data in an intelligent manner, this permits the waveform display tool to process the waveforms quickly enough for interactive usage, while still retaining sufficient data fidelity for accurate data analysis and waveform visualization.

Method and system for implementing data reduction for waveform data

An improved approach is provided to provide fast access to waveform visualizations for electronic designs. Data reduction is performed on the waveform data, where the quantity of the waveform data is reduced in an intelligent manner, such that the reduced waveform data still retains sufficient data fidelity for accurate data analysis and waveform visualization. The reduced data can then be displayed in an accelerated manner. From the display of the reduced data, this allows the user to select only the specific one or more waveforms for which the user seeks viewing of the full waveform data.
