Symbols Field - HP 1660CS-Series User Manual

The Analyzer Format Menu

Symbols field

Symbols field
The Symbols field is located directly below the Run field in the upper right
corner of the Format menu. Use this field to access the symbol tables.
Use symbol tables to define a mnemonic for a specific bit pattern of a label.
You can specify up to 1000 total symbols, and use them freely between
available analyzers. When measurements are made, the mnemonic is
displayed where the bit pattern occurs using the selected symbol base. You
can also download compiled symbol tables using HP E2450A Symbol Utility,
which is supplied with the logic analyzer.
See Also HP E2450A Symbol Utility User's Guide for more information on
downloading symbols
Label field
The Label field identifies the label for which you are specifying symbols.
When you select this field, a selection menu appears that lists all the labels
turned on for that analyzer. Each label has a separate symbol table, so you
can give the same name to symbols defined under different labels.
Symbol pop-up menu
Base field
Use the Base field to select the numeric base in which the pattern in the
symbols menu is displayed. Binary is not available if more than 20 channels
are assigned to a label because there is only enough room for 20 bits to be
displayed on the screen.
You cannot specify a pattern or range when the base is ASCII. Define the
pattern or range in one of the other bases, then switch to ASCII to see the
ASCII characters.
