Glossary
access mode Specifies the types of cycles used to access target system memory
locations. For example a "byte" access mode tells the monitor program to use
load/store byte instructions to access target memory.
analyzer An instrument that captures data on signals of interest at discreet
periods.
background The emulator mode in which foreground operation is suspended so
the emulation processor can be used for communication with the emulation
controller. The background monitor does not occupy any processor address space.
background emulation monitor An emulation monitor that does not execute
as part of the user program, and therefore, operates in the emulator's background
mode.
display mode When displaying memory, this mode tells the emulator the size of
the memory locations to display. When modifying memory, the display mode tells
the emulator the size of the values to be written to memory.
embedded microprocessor system The microprocessor system which the
emulator plugs into.
emulation bus analyzer The internal analyzer that captures emulator bus cycle
information synchronously with the processor's clock signal.
emulation monitor program A program that is executed by the emulation
processor which allows the emulation controller to access target system resources.
For example, when you display target system memory locations, the monitor
program executes microprocessor instructions that read the target memory locations
and send their contents to the emulation controller.
emulator An instrument that performs just like the microprocessor it replaces, but
at the same time, it gives you information about the operation of the processor. An
emulator gives you control over target system execution and allows you to view or
