Note that the values of the grouped data are displayed with the bits that form
those groups converted to hexadecimal in the Timing and Table display formats.
Displaying multiple bits grouped in this manner is called bus display. The binary
display format displays each bit independently, regardless of the group defini-
tions.
While the same output results whichever display format is selected, these display
formats have the following distinguishing features. Use these different formats
according to your needs.
The DG2030 user interface eliminates problems found in many other graphical
signal editors. Most user interfaces that adopt graphical menu items execute
editing operations as soon as that operation is selected from a menu. This
method has the problem that operation becomes inefficient if the same operation
must be repeated many times. Another problem is that the screen area is not large
enough to make selections from the editing operations menu items while
checking the data being edited on the screen. The DG2030's user interface was
designed with these points in mind. The DG2030 pattern data editing functions
separates the selection and execution of editing operations.
The different editing operations are selected from the EDIT ! Execute Action
menu. Pressing the front panel EXECUTE button executes the selected
operation. Editing can be accomplished quickly by using the general purpose
knob and the CURSOR button to move the cursor and then pressing the
EXECUTE button. Figure 2-17 shows the procedure used to select the Invert
data editing operation and then invert data bits at three locations.
