<h3>Description part<aclass="headerlink"href="#description-part"title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>After all signals are declared, you can begin the description part (see
<codeclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">pattern_begin</span></code> [pattern:sub:<cite>b</cite>egin]). In this part you have to
define input values which are to be applied to the inputs of the circuit
or output values which are to be compare with the values produced during
the simulation. (see <codeclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">affect</span></code> [affect], <codeclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">affect_any</span></code>
[affect:sub:<cite>a</cite>ny], <codeclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">affect_int</span></code> [affect:sub:<cite>i</cite>nt] and
<codeclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">affect_fix</span></code> [affect:sub:<cite>f</cite>ix]). <codeclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">Pattern</span></code> method describes the
stimulus by event : only signal transitions are described. After each
event there is a new input in the pattern file (see <codeclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">addpat</span></code>
[addpat]). Last thing you should do in this part is to generate the
output file (see <codeclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">pattern_end</span></code> [pattern:sub:<cite>e</cite>nd]).</p>

<h3>PatWrite<aclass="headerlink"href="#patwrite"title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>This class is used to create patterns for <em>Stratus</em> models. Currently it
only supports Alliance “.pat” pattern format. Patterns time stamps are
in the “absolute date” format, “relative date” isn’t allowed. Legal time
unit are ps (default), ns, us and ms. The constructor takes as
parameters the pattern output filename and an optional reference to
Stratus cell.</p>

<divclass="section"id="declar">
<h3>declar<aclass="headerlink"href="#declar"title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Adds a connector from a Stratus model to the pattern interface. Writes
the corresponding connector declaration in the pattern file with name,
arity and direction automatically extracted from the connector
properties.
Supported Stratus connectors are:</p>
<ulclass="simple">
<li>SignalIn,</li>
<li>SignalOut (only supported if used as an output),</li>
<li>VddIn,</li>
<li>VssIn,</li>
