Signal Tap II analyzer error

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I am using Quartus II for Cyclone II device. I have USB blaster for JTAG connection.   I am trying to use signal tap II analyzer. When I try to recompile the file, after setting the instance and trigger conditions it is giving the following error messages " Error: Node instance "instance_1" instantiated with unknown parameter "SLD_ATTRIBUTE_MEM_MODE" Error: Can't elaborate inferred hierarchy "sld_signaltap:instance_1" Error: Quartus II Analysis & Synthesis was unsuccessful. 2 errors, 3 warnings  Error: Peak virtual memory: 175 megabytes  Error: Processing ended: Tue Apr 28 16:55:03 2009  Error: Elapsed time: 00:00:06  Error: Total CPU time (on all processors): 00:00:04 Error: Quartus II Full Compilation was unsuccessful. 4 errors, 3 warnings "   I am pretty new to FPGA design. Pleae help me out with this issue.

Thanks a lot for replying Pletz. 

 I found the mistake. I had installed both quartus 7.1 and 8.0. Signal tap II analyzer was pointing to 7.1 but i had compiled my program in quartus 8.0.

Switching between Quartus versions requires always signaltap files, generated by the corresponding Quartus version.  Kind regards  GPK
