Label fields

Symbol Width field
The Symbol Width field specifies how many characters of the symbol name
will be displayed when the symbol is referenced in the Trigger, Waveform,
and Listing menus. You can display from 1 to 16 characters of the symbol
name.
Symbol name field
When you first access the symbol table, there are no symbols specified. The
symbol name field reads "New symbol." Select this field to enter a symbol
name. When you are done, a symbol Type field becomes active.
Type field
The symbol Type field toggles between pattern and range. When the symbol
is defined as a pattern, a Pattern/Start field appears to the right of the Type
field. To assign a pattern, select the Pattern/Start field and type in the
desired pattern.
If the symbol is defined as a range, a Pattern/Start field and a Stop field
appear. Use these fields to specify the upper and lower boundaries of the
range. To assign values to the boundaries, select the fields and enter the
pattern. You can specify ranges that overlap or are nested within each other.
Label fields
The label fields are the fields with label names along the left side of the
display below the field captioned Labels. The default label names are Lab1
through Lab126. Selecting the label fields pops up a choice of Turn Label On,
Turn Label Off, and Modify Label.
The Turn Label Off option turns off the label. When a label is turned off, the
label name and the bit assignments are saved by the logic analyzer so that
you can turn the label back on and not have to retype the bit assignments and
name. With labels off, the label names remain displayed for identification and
searching purposes. Turning labels off may save memory in transitional
timing.
Labels may have from 1 to 32 channels assigned to them. If you try to assign
more than 32 channels to a label, the logic analyzer will beep, indicating an
error. A message will appear at the top of the screen telling you that 32
channels per label is the maximum.
