Glossary
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
modify the contents of processor registers, target system memory, and I/O
resources.
foreground The mode in which the emulator is executing the user program. In
other words, the mode in which the emulator operates as the target microprocessor
would.
global restart When the same secondary branch condition is used for all terms in
the analyzer's sequencer, and secondary branches are always back to the first term.
prestore The analyzer feature that allows up to two states to be stored before
normally stored states. This feature is useful when you want to find the cause of a
particular state. For example, if a variable is accessed from many different places in
the program, you can qualify the trace so that only accesses of that variable are
stored and turn on prestore to find out where accesses of that variable originate
from.
primary sequencer branch Occurs when the analyzer finds the primary branch
state specified at a certain level and begins searching for the states specified at the
primary branch's destination level.
real-time Refers to continuous execution of the user program without
interference from the emulator. (Such interference occurs when the emulator
temporarily breaks into the monitor so that it can access register contents or target
system memory or I/O.)
secondary sequencer branch Occurs when the analyzer finds the secondary
branch state specified at a certain level before it found the primary branch state and
begins searching for the states specified at the secondary branch's destination level.
sequence terms Individual levels of the sequencer. The HP 64705A analyzer
provides 8 sequence terms.
sequencer The part of the analyzer that allows it to search for a certain sequence
of states before triggering.
