Compiler
a program that translates high-level language source code into object
code, or produces an assembly language program with subsequent
translation into object code by an assembler. Compilers typically
generate a program listing which may list errors displayed during the
translation process.
Configuration File
a file in which configuration information is stored. Typically,
configuration files can be modified and re-loaded to configure
instruments (such as an emulator) or programs (such as the PC
Interface).
Coordinated Measurement
a synchronized measurement made between the emulator and analyzer,
between emulation-bus analyzer and external analyzer, or between
multiple emulators or analyzers. For example, a coordinated
measurement is made when two or more HP 64700 emulators/analyzers
start executing together, or break into background monitors at the same
time.
Coordinated Measurement Bus (CMB)
the bus that is used for communication between multiple HP 64700
Series emulators/analyzers or between HP 64700 emulators/analyzers
and an HP 64306 IMB/CMB Interface to allow coordinated
measurements.
Counter Overflow
when the trace tag counter of the deep analyzer reaches maximum
count and begins a new count from zero. The counter in the deep
analyzer simply counts continuously once a trace begins; it increments
its count every 20 ns, and reaches maximum count in about 22.9
minutes (22 minutes and 54 seconds). The deep analyzer sets a flag in
memory and stores it along with the first state that is captured after the
counter overflow occurs (first state captured after the counter begins
again at zero).
