Showing a local variable in the wave window?

[DrNickels]

Under modelsim, we could show Processes and turn on View locals (https://nandland.com/view-variables-in-modelsim-waveform/ ).  This same procedure doesn't seem to work in Questa.  How do I show a variable in the wave window in Questa?

For others coming after, here is the solution:

• Update: in Questa Intel FPGA Edition, you go to Compile/Compile Options, then select the Coverage Tab under "Other Coverage" (the 4th box in 21.1), is an option "Enable Finish State Machine Coverage (+cover f)".  If you select that, then hop out of questa and back to quartus and restart questa - yes I'm sure there is a quicker way to do that - then the process in https://nandland.com/view-variables-in-modelsim-waveform/ works - the state, which is a variable, shows up.

That's interesting. I do not know about that. This will be useful for those who might come across similar problem.

I’m glad that you find the answer. With that, I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.
