Chapter 7: Using the Emulation Analyzer
The Basics of Starting, Stopping, and Displaying Traces
To start a trace measurement
• Choose Trace→Everything.
• Using the command line, enter the trace command.
The trace command tells the analyzer to begin monitoring the states which appear
on the trace signals. You will see a message that confirms that a trace is started.
The default trace command (simply trace with no options) will trigger on any state,
store all captured states.
Examples
While the emulator is running the user program, you can start the default trace
measurement with the command:
trace <RETURN>
A message is displayed on the status line to show you that the "Emulation trace
[has] started", and another message will show you when the "Emulation trace [is]
complete".
To display the trace status
• Choose Display→Status.
• Using the command line, enter the display status command.
In addition to the analyzer information shown on the status line (Emulation trace
started, Emulation trace complete, etc.), you can display complete analyzer status
with the command below.
