## Performing a Timing Analysis with QuickPath Software

After you have compiled your project with the MAX+PLUS® II Compiler and generated an EDIF Output File (.edo), you can use Mentor Graphics QuickPath software to perform a timing analysis of your project.

To perform a timing analysis with QuickPath software, follow these steps:

1. Be sure to set up the working environment correctly, as described in Setting Up the MAX+PLUS II/Mentor Graphics/Exemplar Logic Working Environment.

2. Generate an EDIF Output File for your project using one of the following methods:

- Compiling Projects with MAX+PLUS II Software
- Using the Altera Schematic Express (sch_exprss) Utility
- Using the Altera VHDL Express (vhd_exprss) Utility

3. Select your project's folder from the ALTERA directory, press Button 3, and choose Open max2_qpath to start the QuickPath software. You can also start the QuickPath software by typing `max2_qpath` at the UNIX prompt.
