A customizing method includes steps which consist in: a) determining on
the basis of a circuit model, a set of vectors each corresponding to a
theoretical operating time of the circuit when a predetermined sequence
of tests is applied, the coefficients of each vector representing the
state of a common set of elements of the circuit among which the element
to be customized (12); b) defining on the basis of a comparison of
vectors, a composite of logic operators applied on the vectors and
enabling to extract the coefficient corresponding to the element to be
customized (30); c) producing images of the operating circuit at times
corresponding to the vectors whereon is applied the composite of logic
operators (32); and d) graphically combining the images produced in
accordance with a composite of graphic operators corresponding to the
composite of logic operators (36).
