## Creating a Logic Modeling SmartModel Configuration Format File

The Logic Modeling SmartModel EDIF2SCF for Windows Compiler reads the <project name>.edo file generated by the MAX+PLUS® II Compiler and creates the <project name>.scf file. The EDIF2SCF compiler also extracts all state and internal net information for simulation of internal nodes (with the `x` and `w` options).

When the EDIF2SCF compiler opens, an Options prompt appears, providing options for the help_type, netlist_type, design_name, window_file, output_file, and interface_file. If some fields are not visible, press the TAB key to cycle through all six fields. The information you enter in these fields configures the EDIF2SCF compiler, and is equivalent to setting the various commandline options when compiling with EDIF2SCF.

Refer to the following table when setting options at the EDIF2SCF compiler's Options prompt. For information on these options, refer to EDIF2SCF Compiler in the Logic Modeling SmartModel Library Reference Manual.

Table 1. EDIF2SCF Options for Logic Modeling SmartModel
Setting(s) | Effect on EDIF2SCF
help_type option is turned on | Compiles with the `h` option
netlist_type option is set to extract | Compiles with the `x` option
netlist_type option is set to windows | Compiles with no options
netlist_type option is set to windows and the window_file option is set to the pathname of the windows definition file | Compiles with the `w` option
netlist_type option is set to windows and the output_file option is set to the pathname of a <filename>.scf file | Compiles with the `o` option
netlist_type option is set to windows and the interface_file option is set to the pathname of a custom <filename>.inf file | Compiles with the `i` option
