To create a symbol

To create a symbol
Symbols are alphanumeric mnemonics that represent specific data patterns
or ranges. When you define a symbol and set the the base type to Symbol in
the Listing menu, the symbol is displayed in the data listing where the bit
pattern would normally be displayed. The symbols also appear in the
Waveform menu when you view a label in bus form. Symbols allow you to
quickly identify data of interest.
To create a symbol, use the following procedure.
In the Analyzer Format menu, select Symbols.
1
The symbol table menu appears. The symbol table is where all user symbols
are created and maintained. If you get a message, "No labels specified," check
that you have at least one label turned on with channels assigned to it.
In the Symbol menu select the Label field. In the pop-up menu select
2
the label that contains the channel groups you want.
When you open the symbol table menu, the Label field displays the name of
the first active label.
If the label you want does not appear in the pop-up menu, the label is
probably off. Return to the Format menu, select the label you want, and
select Turn Label On. Another possibility is that the label is on the other
analyzer. The two analyzers manage resources separately.
Select the Base field. In the pop-up menu, select the base for the
3
pattern.
In this example, binary is used since CYCLE only contains three channels.
Select the field below Symbol. Select Add a Symbol, type in the
4
symbol name, then press Done.
