Chapter 7: Using the Emulation Analyzer
The Basics of Starting, Stopping, and Displaying Traces
The "States" line shows the number of states that have been stored (out of the
number that is possible to store) and the line numbers that the stored states occupy.
(The trigger state is always stored on line 0.)
The "Sequence term" line of the trace status display shows the number of the term
the sequencer was in when the trace completed. Because a branch out of the last
sequence term constitutes the trigger, the number displayed is what would be the
next term (2 in the preceding example) even though that term is not defined. If the
trace is halted, the sequence term number just before the halt is displayed;
otherwise, the current sequence term number is displayed. If the current sequence
term is changing too quickly to be read, a question mark (?) is displayed.
The "Occurrence left" line of the trace status display shows the number of
occurrences remaining before the primary branch can be taken out of the current
sequence term. If the occurrence left is changing too quickly to be read, a question
mark (?) is displayed.
