Simulation Problems

When i tried to simulate my code(vhdl) , it says Isim doesn't support 
traceable variables and shows an error
at 0 ps: Error: :fixed_pkg:READ(sfixed) Decimal point does not match 
number format some hundred times.
I am using fixed points and therefore fixed_pkg and fixed_float_types 
packages.

What does that error mean??

Correct, it does not support viewing of variables. Thats a pity.

> fixed_pkg:READ(sfixed) Decimal point does not match number format
Then have a look, how the function READ is defined in the fixed_pkg.
I assume, that the number of leading and trailing digits in the stimuli 
file does not fit the format you told the function READ...

Nice to hear.

That was what i assumed and the simulator said:
Decimal point does not match number format

De nada. And good luck.
