X-Amin provides functions to evaluate the gate-level characteristics of a linked design. The levels command can be used to obtain an approximation of the number of levels of logic between inputs and clocked elements, between clocked elements and between clocked elements and outputs. The logic level information can be used to ball-park a maximum operating speed of the design.

The gates command can be used to obtain an approximate gate count for the design.

The levels and gates commands are discussed in detail in the following sections.
