How Do I Print the CSL Window
from a FastChip Design?

FastChip, per se, does not have a print function. There is no direct way to print out the graphical content of the CSL window.

However, there are at least two potential printing solutions.

Cut and paste the FastChip image to another Windows package that supports printing graphics.
Generate a FastChip project report. The report is not graphical, but does show connectivity and module option settings.

Cut and Paste to Other Package with a Graphics Printing Capability

From the FastChip menu bar, choose View and de-select all view options except Configurable System Logic.

Resize the FastChip window until it matches your desired graphic size. Maximize the CSL window within the FastChip windows and close the Module window.

Make sure that FastChip is the active window. Press <Alt>-<Shift>-<PrintScrn> to copy the FastChip bitmap graphics to the Windows cut-and-paste buffer.

Open your favorite text editor or graphics editor and paste the image into a document.

Print the FastChip image from your favorite text or graphics editor.

Generate a FastChip Project Report

The method described above shows the graphical view of your FastChip project but does not show how the module is configured nor does it show the connectivity between modules.

From the FastChip menu bar, choose Tools à Generate Project Report.

Check the View generated report option box and click OK.

FastChip then displays the project report using your favorite web browser. To view the module settings, click the Soft Modules link. To view the connections between modules, click Inter-Module Connections.
