Using the External Analyzer 4-10
When xtmo -s is specified, the external analyzer operates as an inde-
pendent state analyzer. The independent state analyzer is identical to
the emulation analyzer, except that only 16 bits of analysis are available.
Your HP 64700 Series emulator now contains two state analyzers; two
sets of analyzer resources (trace memory, patterns, qualifiers, etc.) are
available, one for the emulation analyzer and one for the independent
state analyzer.
When the independent state analyzer mode is selected, you can use one
analyzer to arm the other. You can specify the arm condition as a
qualifier, perhaps as the trigger condition (cross-triggering). (Refer to
the "Making Coordinated Measurements" chapter for more informa-
tion on cross-triggering.)
When you use the external analyzer as an independent state analyzer, a
whole new set of external trace commands become available. Every
trace command (except for the trace activity, ta, and trace initialization,
tinit, commands) is duplicated for the independent state analyzer and
prefixed with an x. For example, the following commands become
available in the independent state mode: xt, xtarm, xtcf, xtck, xtcq,
xtelif, xtg, xth, xtif, xtl, xtlb, xtp, xtpat, xtpq, xtrng, xts, xtsck, xtsq, and
xtsto. These commands operate identically to their counterpart emula-
tion analyzer commands.
