I need the simulator to read a .mif file for simulation. But I do not want to add the file to the design. Can I do that?
Please check predefined Active-HDL variables chapter in our Help section:
Click on the Help tab.
Select either PDF Documentation or HTML Documentation.
Click on Product Help.
Select Active-HDL Macro Language | Using Macro Commands in Active-HDL GUI | Active-HDL Predefined Variables.
Then, you can use either sim_readfile_folder or sim_working_folder variable.
