Defining Resource Terms - Agilent Technologies 16712A Help Manual

Chapter 1: Agilent Technologies 16712A 128K Sample Logic Analyzer
The Trigger Tab
The samples do not need to be consecutive. Whatever positive number
you assign to the counter, the pattern must be seen that number of
times before the term becomes true.
If the Else branch becomes true before all specified occurrences of the
primary (Trigger on, or Find) branch, the Else branch is taken.
Branches Taken Stored / Not Stored (State only). Branches
Taken sets the analyzer to store, or not to store, the resource terms of
the branch that the analyzer followed in the trigger sequence. The
Branches Taken control is located in Trigger, under the Settings tab.
Use Branches Taken if you want to maximize memory usage but have
a complex trigger. With Branches Taken set to stored, you can use
store qualifiers to not store the preliminary data ("While storing no
state") but still reconstruct the events leading up to your trigger.
When the analyzer is set to Branches Taken Stored, all branch events
(Find, Else On, or Trigger) are stored when they occur.
When the analyzer is set to Branches Taken Not Stored, the branch
events will only be stored if the states they represent are included in
the While Storing qualifier.
The While storing field specifies what is being stored in the analyzer's
memory before the trigger conditions are met. To set this, select the
While storing button and choose a pattern or range term for the store
qualification.

Defining Resource Terms

Resource terms are variables that you can use in defining a trigger
sequence. The terms available include patterns, edges, ranges, and
timers.
When the Agilent Technologies 16712A is configured as a state
analyzer, up to fourteen resource terms are available: 10 pattern
terms Pattern1 - Pattern9 and Patt10, two range terms, and two
timer terms. When configured as a timing analyzer, 16 resource
terms are available from the 14 terms already mentioned, plus two
