EDITOR | TUTORIAL

Introduction

WaveDrom is a Free and Open Source online digital timing diagram (waveform) rendering engine that uses javascript, HTML5 and SVG to convert a WaveJSON input text description into SVG vector graphics.

WaveJSON is an application of the JSON format. The purpose of WaveJSON is to provide a compact exchange format for digital timing diagrams utilized by digital HW / IC engineers.

The engine is using WaveDromSkin skin mechanism to render a complete picture.

Web usage

WaveDrom timing diagrams can be embedded into the web pages, blogs, and wikis to be rendered by the most of modern browsers.

HTML pages

There are three steps to insert WaveDrom diagrams directly into your page:

  1. Put the following line into your HTML page <header> or <body>:

From a CDN:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/wavedrom/3.1.0/skins/default.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/wavedrom/3.1.0/wavedrom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  1. Set the onload event for the HTML body.
<body onload="WaveDrom.ProcessAll()">
  1. Insert WaveJSON source inside HTML <body> wrapped with the <script> tag:
<script type="WaveDrom">
{ signal : [
  { name: "clk",  wave: "p......" },
  { name: "bus",  wave: "x.34.5x",   data: "head body tail" },
  { name: "wire", wave: "0.1..0." },
]}
</script>

The script will find all <script type="WaveDrom"> instances and insert a timing diagram at that point.
