SYNOPSIS

       INIT("pattern_date","ident","value");

PARAMETERS

       pattern_date
		 : pattern date which may be either : integer (absolute date) or + integer (relative date, the date of the current  pattern  (last
		 modified  using  INIT or AFFECT) is the reference). All dates are supposed to be expressed in the same time unit which may be set
		 only once using SETTUNIT.

       ident	 Either the name of a bused register or a simple register. Path-name must be specified by the syntax : instance1.instance11.name

       value	 The value associated with the signal which may be either a based number (ex.  0B011 or 0H3F) or a decimal.

DESCRIPTION

       Initialize registers at indicated values and set current pattern.

EXAMPLE

       SETTUNIT("ns");
       INIT( "25","regt","0B1");
       INIT("+50","y 3 downto 0","0xF");

       result :
       At simulation time 25 ns, the register named regt receive "1"
	    regt <= B"1" ;
       <   25 ns> : .............;

       At simulation time +50 ns, (related to the date of the current pattern),
       the vector y is affected with the value 15 in decimal or F in hexadecimal.
	    regt <= X"F" ;
       <   75 ns> : .............;
