Abstract
A digital system simulation apparatus and method to enable a user to interactively control, during simulation, sampling of signals in the digital system whose behavior is being simulated. The behavior of the system can be approximated by recognizing and displaying the circuit element inputs and outputs. Breakpoints can also be set, interactively, during simulation, for controlling initiation and termination of the sampling process. The method and apparatus can also sample upon the Nth occurrence of a specified condition.
