Using the Emulation Analyzer
To specify trace dequeueing options
Once the dequeuer has been started on the correct opcode, it will continue to
disassemble correctly unless an unusual condition causes it to misinterpret
the data. By specifying the first instruction state for disassembly and the
number of the first operand cycle for that instruction, you can resynchronize
the disassembly.
You may see TAKEN, NOT TAKEN, or ?TAKEN? beside a branch in your
dequeued trace list. TAKEN is shown beside a branch if the dequeuer
determines that the branch was taken. NOT TAKEN is shown if the
dequeuer determines that the branch was definitely not taken. ?TAKEN?
means the dequeuer was not able to determine whether or not the branch
was taken. If you read down the trace list and see that the branch was taken,
use the disassemble_from_line_number command to restart disassembly
at the trace list line number of the branch destination.
Examples
Dequeue the trace list:
Choose Trace→Display Options... and in the dialog box, select Dequeue
Enable. Then click the OK or Apply pushbutton.
Or, using the command line, enter:
display trace dequeue on
Display the trace list without dequeueing:
display trace dequeue off
