REAL-TIME PROTOTYPE ANALYZER
DESCRIPTION
General
The Real-Time Prototype Analyzer is an 8001/8002 µProcessor Lab option that allows users
to monitor hardware and software functions during real-time execution. The Real-Time
Prototype Analyzer consists of the following three sub-assemblies:
1) The Real-Time Trace module
2) The Data Acquisition Interface board
3) The Data Acquisition Probe
The Real-Time Trace module is a circuit board that plugs into the 8001 /8002
µProcessor Lab motherboard. The Real-Time Trace module contains all the circuitry
required to store up to 128 bus transactions. The Real-Time Trace module also issues
trigger pulses and/or breakpoints upon programmed event comparisons.
The Data Acquisition Interface is a circuit board that attaches to the rear panel of the
8001/8002 µProcessor Lab. The Data Acquisition Interface contains all the buffers, drivers,
and receivers that interface the Reai-Time Trace moduie to the nine channel Data
Acquisition Interface.
The Data Acquisition Probe is an active nine channel data probe. Eight of the channels are
used to input data to the Real-Time Trace module. The ninth channel carries a clock signal
from a prototype device. Since a data booklet is packages with the Data Acquisition Probe,
no attempt will be made in this manual to describe the Probe in detail.
See Fig. 8-1 Real-Time Prototype Analyzer.
