Use the External
Analyzer
An HP 64700-Series emulator may be ordered with an external
analyzer. The external analyzer provides 16 external trace
channels. These trace channels allow you to capture activity on
signals external to the emulator, typically other target system
signals. The external analyzer may be configured as an extension to
the emulation analyzer, as an independent state analyzer, or as an
independent timing analyzer.
If your emulator contains an external analyzer, you can define up to
eight labels for the 16 external data channels in the configuration.
These external analyzer labels can be used in trace commands, and
the data associated with these labels can be displayed in the trace
list. One external analyzer label, "xbits", is defined by the default
configuration and is included in the default trace list.
There are several things to do before you can use the external
analyzer; these things are listed below and explained in the
following paragraphs.
Assemble the analyzer probe.
Connect the probe to the emulator.
Connect the probe wires to the target system.
