Glossary

access mode Specifies the types of cycles used to access target system memory
locations. For example a "byte" access mode tells the monitor program to use
load/store byte instructions to access target memory.
active emulator probe An emulator probe that contains circuitry that allows the
emulator to more closely imitate the electrical characteristics of the microprocessor
thereby avoiding the timing problems that can occur with passive probes.
analyzer An instrument that captures data on signals of interest at discreet
periods.
background The emulator mode in which foreground operation is suspended so
the emulation processor can be used for communication with the emulation
controller. The background monitor does not occupy any processor address space.
background emulation monitor An emulation monitor program that does not
execute as part of the user program, and therefore, operates in the emulator's
background mode.
background memory Memory space reserved for the emulation processor
when it is operating in the background mode. Background memory does not take
up any of the processor's address space.
display mode When displaying memory, this mode tells the emulator the size of
the memory locations to display. When modifying memory, the display mode tells
the emulator the size of the values to be written to memory.
embedded microprocessor system The microprocessor system that the
emulator plugs into.
emulation bus analyzer The internal analyzer that captures emulator bus cycle
information synchronously with the processor's clock signal.
emulation monitor program A program that is executed by the emulation
processor which allows the emulation controller to access target system resources.
