I believe that Active-HDL v7.3 now uses the "Accelerated Waveform
Viewer" by default instead of the old waveform viewer. That
accelerated viewer is faster but lacks some feature of the old viewer,
such as stimulators. There is a way to use the old waveform viewer
however:

As Mike said, you can always create your own stimulus in VHDL, which
is better in the long run. I see stimulators as a way to run a quick
and dirty simulation but I don't think it should be used throughout
the project as it's less portable. You just got a proof of that with
the change to the accelerated waveform viewer.

Mike, in waveform there is no "stimulator" label. I just wanted to
know if there is possibility to add there stimulators ? Even if i
wrote testbech, there is no such thing as "stimulator" labels, as it
was in previous versions.
