Chapter 7: Using the Emulation Analyzer
The Basics of Starting, Stopping, and Displaying Traces
Examples
To display the trace status:
display status <RETURN>
The first line of the emulation trace status display shows the user trace has been
"completed"; other possibilities are that the trace is still "running" or that the trace
has been "halted".
The "Arm ignored" line shows that the arm condition, which can be used to qualify
trace measurements, is ignored. Consequently, the "Arm to trigger" time is not
meaningful and a question mark is displayed. (The "Making Coordinated
Measurements" chapter explains arm conditions.)
The second line of the trace status display contains information on the arm
condition. If the analyzer is always armed, the message "Arm ignored" is
displayed. If the analyzer is to be armed by one of the internal signals, either the
message "Arm not received" or "Arm received" is displayed. The display indicates
if the arm condition happened any time since the most recent trace started, even if it
happened after the trace was halted or became complete.
The "Arm to trigger" line displays the amount of time between the arm condition
and the trigger. The time displayed will be from -0.04 microseconds to 41.943
milliseconds, less than -0.04 microseconds, or greater than 41.943 milliseconds. If
the arm signal is ignored or the trigger is not in memory, a question mark (?) is
displayed.
