Element:Waveform Reference
Tag:<waveform.ptr>
Definition:

A Waveform Reference is a pointer to a Waveform <waveform> which is defined elsewhere in the Timing Diagram <timing.diagram>.

Remarks:

This construct allows multiple Signals <signal>s to share the same Waveform <waveform>. A Waveform <waveform> can be defined as part of one Signal <signal>, and that same Waveform <waveform> can be referenced by other Signals <signal>s.

Sharing Waveforms <waveform>s is especially useful in hierarchical models of systems because these models typically have Signals <signal>s that connect between different hierarchical levels that share the same Waveform <waveform> (e.g. port-collapsible nets in Verilog simulation models).
