Generate high-level timing critical path report

Specify whether to generate a highlighting script that shows the estimated critical path. The report displays the critical path delay and generates a highlighting script as a link that you can click to highlight the estimated critical path in the generated model. If your design contains blocks without timing information, the report displays the link to another highlighting script that is generated to highlight those blocks.

Settings

Default: Off

On

Generate a highlighting script that shows the estimated critical path. To generate the report, after you enable this setting, click the Generate button. The code generation report contains a summary section and a code interface report along with the critical path estimation report.

To estimate the critical path for single-precision floating-point models, use the Native Floating Point mode. In the Configuration Parameters dialog box, on the HDL Code Generation > Global Settings > Floating Point Target tab, set Library to Native Floating Point

Off

Do not calculate the estimated critical path.

Command-Line Information

Property: CriticalPathEstimation

Type: character vector

Value: 'on' | 'off'

Default: 'off'

To set this property, use hdlset_param or makehdl. To view the property value, use hdlget_param.

For example, you can generate a critical path estimation report when generating HDL code for the symmetric_fir subsystem inside the sfir_fixed model using either of these methods.

Pass in the CriticalPathEstimation property as an argument to makehdl.
```
makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir','CriticalPathEstimation','on')
```

Enable the CriticalPathEstimation property using hdlset_param and then use makehdl.

hdlset_param('sfir_fixed','CriticalPathEstimation','on')
makehdl('sfir_fixed/symmetric_fir')
