+# Waveform Viewer
+
+The Verilog platform shows a waveform trace below the emulator screen,
+with one row per exposed signal. **Click** to give the waveform viewer
+keyboard focus.
+
+If the CRT is active, the waveform viewer is hidden by default, below the CRT frame.
+You can **click and drag** its frame border up from the bottom of the screen.
+
+## Which signals appear
+
+The trace shows every scalar/vector `logic` signal from the flattened
+design: top-level ports and internal registers and wires from every
+submodule, not just the top level. These are omitted:
+
+- Non-logic types (arrays, memories)
+- Internal simulator temporaries (names starting with `__V`)
+- If the design drives video output (it has `vsync`, `hsync`, and `rgb`
+  signals), `clk` and `reset`
+
+Multi-bit signals will display their hex or decimal values on top of the waveforms when zoomed in.
+
+## Mouse actions
+
+- **Click** on the trace to move the selection cursor to that clock.
+- **Click and drag** to scrub through the trace.
+- **Scroll horizontally** to pan left/right.
+- For input signals (other than `clk` or `reset`)  **click** its row to change its
+  value at the current clock.
