NOTE:
In all but the slowest state speed, the logic analyzer can check flags by
inserting an event, but cannot change flag status with an action. Flag actions
are not available when not using the slowest state speed.
A flag that is set by a module remains set until that module clears it. If
multiple modules set the same flag, all of those modules must clear the
flag before it becomes clear.
Flags can also be used to drive the logic analysis system's Port Out
signal.
To insert a flag action
You can use the Set/clear/pulse flag trigger function to insert a flag
action. When editing advanced trigger functions, follow these steps to
insert a flag action:
1. In the Trigger tab's Trigger Sequence area, select one of the action buttons
(for example, Trigger or Goto), choose Insert ACTION, choose Flag, and
choose either Set, Clear, Pulse set, or Pulse clear.
Flags in Pulse mode sit in the opposite state when not being pulsed. If you
insert a Pulse set action for a flag in one analyzer, you cannot insert a
Pulse clear action for the same flag in a different analyzer.
NOTE:
Within an analyzer, the same flag cannot be used in both Pulse and Level (Set/
Clear) modes. If a flag action is inserted or modified with a different mode
than other actions for the same flag, all actions for that flag will change to
match the new mode.
2. If you chose Pulse set or Pulse clear, enter the width of the pulse.
In timing mode, pulse width is settable from 54 ns to 1.53 us in 6 ns steps.
In state mode, pulse width is settable from 50 ns to 1.275 ns in 5 ns steps.
NOTE:
Within an analyzer, a flag's pulse width must be the same in every action for
that flag. Whenever the pulse width is changed in a flag action, it changes in all
other actions for that flag.
3. Select the flag number button and choose the number of the flag you want
the action to occur on.
