1 Trigger ing.
Trig gering As you begi n to u n derstan d a probl em in you r sys tem, you may realize that certain condi tion s mu st o ccur befor e th e p rob lem occu rs. Y ou can use sequen tial trigge rin g to en sur e that those cond itio ns have occu rred before the analy ze r re cogn izes its trigger and captu res info rmation.
To store and time the execut ion of a subroutine Most syst ems soft ware of any kind is compo sed of a hierarchy of functions and procedures. During i nteg ratio n, test ing, and perfo rmance evaluat ion, yo u will want to look at specific procedures to verify that they are e xecuti ng correctly and that the implem entat io n is efficient.
Example Suppos e you want to trigge r on entry to a routi ne called MY_SU B. You can define the address of MY_SUB in t he Format m enu, allowi ng you to re ference the sym bol name when setting up the t race specification. Assume t hat MY_SUB ex tends for 0A hex lo cations.
To t rigger on the nth ite ration of a loop Traditional deb ugging requires print statem ents around the area of interest . This is no t possi ble in most emb edded systems designs. But , the analyz er allows y ou to view the syst em’s behavi or when a part icular event occurs.
To t rigger o n the nth recursive call o f a recursive function 1 Select the state ana lyzer Trigger menu . 2 Defin e t he terms CALL_ADD, F_START, and F_END to represen t the cal led add ress of th e recursive f unctio n , an d the start a nd end addre s ses of the f unctio n .
Triggerin g on the 22nd Ca l l of a Recursive Fu n ction Triggering To tri gger on t he nth r ecursiv e call o f a recur sive fu nction 1–7.
To t rigger on ent ry to a function This seq uence trigg ers on ent ry to a function only when it is called b y one particular funct ion. 1 Select the state ana lyzer Trigger menu . 2 Defin e t he terms F1_S TART and F1_END to repre s ent the start and end addresses of the ca llin g fun ction.
Trigger i ng on Ent ry to a Fun c tio n Triggering To trig ger on ent ry to a function 1–9.
To capture a wri te o f known bad data to a particular variable The trigge r specification ANDs the bad data on the data bus, write transactio n on the status bus , and address of the variable on the address bus. 1 Select the state ana lyzer Trigger menu .
To t rigger on a loop that occasion ally runs t oo long This exam ple assumes the loop no rmally execut es in 1 4 µ s. 1 Select the state ana lyzer Trigger menu . 2 Defin e t erms LP_S TART, LP_END, and Timer1 to re p resent the start and end addre s ses of the l oop , and the normal dura t ion of the lo op.
To verify that all stack s and registers are res t ore d correctly bef ore exitin g a subroutine The exit code for a function will oft en contain inst ructions for deallocat ing stack s t orage fo r local vari ables and restoring regi sters t hat were save d during the function call.
To t rigger afte r all statu s bus lines finish transition ing In some applications , you wil l want to trigge r a measureme nt when a particular pat tern has beco me stab le. For exam ple, you might want to trigge r the analyz er when a m icroprocessor’ s stat us bus has b ecome stab le during the b us cycl e.
To find the nth assertion of a chip select line 1 Select the timin g a n alyzer Trigge r menu. 2 Defin e t he gli t ch/e dge1 term to represen t the asser ting transition on the chip select line. You can rename the Edge1 term to make it correspond more closel y to the proble m domain, for exam ple, to CHIP_ SEL.
To verify that the chip select line o f a mem ory chip is strobed after the ad dr ess is stable 1 Select the timin g a n alyzer Trigge r menu. 2 Defin e a t erm call ed ADDRE SS to repr esent the addr ess in que s tion and the Edge 1 t e rm to represen t the asser t ing tran sition on th e chip select line.
To t rigger when expected data does not appear o n the data bu s from a remo te device wh en requested 1 Select the timin g a n alyzer Trigge r menu. 2 Defin e a t erm call ed DATA to represen t the e.
Trig ger i ng Wh en I/O Dat a Not R e turn ed Triggering To tr igger w hen expe cted dat a does not appe ar on the dat a bus f rom a remot e device w hen requ e sted 1– 17.
To test minimu m and maxim um pulse limits 1 Select the timin g a n alyzer Trigge r menu. 2 Defin e t he Edge1 term to repr esent the positive-go ing transitio n , and defi ne the Edg e2 term t o represen t the neg ative-going tran sition o n the li ne with the pulse to b e t ested .
Triggerin g when a Puls e Exc eeds Mini mum or Maximum Li mits Triggering To tes t minimum and maximum pul s e l imit s 1– 19.
To d etect a han dshake violation 1 Select the timin g a n alyzer Trigge r menu. 2 Defin e t he Edge1 term to repr esent either transi tion on the first hand s hak e line, and the Edge2 term to re pre sent eithe r t ransitio n on the seco nd handsh ake line .
To detect bus co ntent ion In this sequencer setup, the trigger occurs only if bo th devices assert their bus transfer acknowl edge lines at the same time.
Cross -Arm ing Tri g g er Exa mple s The foll owing ex amples use cross arming to coord inate measu rements between two i nstrumen ts. The cross-ar ming is set up in the Arming Co ntro l men u (obtain ed by sel ectin g Arming Contro l in the Trigge r menu ).
To ex amine softw a re executio n w hen a timing violat ion occurs The timing analyzer trig gers when the timing violati on occurs, and when it triggers , it als o sets its “arm” level to t rue. When the stat e analyz er receives the arm s ignal, it triggers immediat ely on t he present state.
To lo ok at co ntrol an d stat us signals d uring execu tion of a routine The state analyzer will trig ger on the start of the routi ne whose contro l and status signal s are t o be exami ned with finer resolution than once per bus cycle. When it trigg ers, it will switch its “arm” level true.
2 Intermodul e M easurements.
Inte rmodule Measure ments An intermod u le measure ment is a m e asuremen t that is coordin ated between two or more modules to captu re differen t types of info rmation rel ated to a p roblem y o u are tr ying to solve. T h is ch apter shows you h ow to make s everal kin d s of i nter module meas urements .

To see time correlation o f each module with in an int ermodule measuremen t Time correlatio n in the intermodul e menu can help you see when the trigg er occurred for each module and the relative time range of data captured by that mo dule.
Modul e Time Corr elat i on This portion of the ba r indicate s the re l ativ e time ran ge of data acquire d by this module. T indicate s t he time at which t he trigger was fo und.
To use a timing analyzer to detect a glitch The following setup uses a state analyz er to capture state flow occurring at the ti me of t he glitch. This can be useful in troub leshoo ting. Fo r example , you might fi nd that the gl itch is ground b ounce cause d by a num b er of simultane ous signal transiti ons.
To cap ture th e wavef orm o f a glitch The follo wing setup uses the triggering capabilit y of the timing analyzer a nd the acquisit ion capab ility o f the o scillosco pe. 1 Select the Inter module Menu. 2 Select the timin g a n alyzer from the Mod u les li st a nd set it to Gr oup Run.
To cap ture state flow show ing h ow your target system processes an interr upt Use an o scilloscope with a sampl e rate fast er than t he micropro cessor clo ck rate to trigge r on the asynchronous inte rrupt reque s t. 1 Select the Inter module menu.

To u se a stat e analyzer to trigger tim ing an alys is of a cou nt-down on a set of data lines 1 Select the Inter module menu. 2 Select the state ana lyzer from the Mod ul es list and set it t o Group Run. Select the timin g analyzer and set it t o respond t o the arm signal from the state analyzer .
To monit or the activity of two cop rocessors in a target system Deb ugging copro cessor s ystems can be a co mplex task . Replicat ed syste ms and content ion for shared resource s increase t he potential proble ms. Using two st ate analyz ers with preprocesso rs can make it much e asier to disco ver the so urce of such prob lems.
7 Se lect Gro up R un from the u p per rig ht cor ner of the disp lay. After the measureme nt is complet e, you can interleave the trace lists of bo th state analyzers t o see the acti vity execut ed by bo th coproce ssors during related cl ock cycle s.
Spec ial di spl ays Interl eaved Trace Li sts Inter leaved trace lists allow you to view d ata captured by two or more anal yzers in a sing le trace list. Whe n you inte rleave the traces, you see each state that was cap tured by each analy z er. Thes e states are shown on con secutive lin es.
To in terleave trace lists 1 Set up the analy zers who se data y o u wish to inte rleave as par t of a gro u p run . You won’t need to do this if the two measurem ent modules for which you want mixed display are really part of the same module.
Interlea ved Trace Li s ts on th e HP 16550A See Al s o “To set up a group run of mo dules wit hin the H P 1650 0C” in this chapt er. Labels f or the interlea ved s tates are shown abo ve those f or the pr i mary analyz er. Int erleaved st a tes are shown i n yellow with line number s indente d f rom thos e of th e primary analy zer.
To view trace lists and waveforms together on the same display 1 Set up the mo dules wh ose d a ta you wish to vi ew as part of a g roup ru n . You won’t need to do this if the two measurem ent modules for which you want mixed display are really part of the same module.
You can us e the M ixed D i splay featu re in the s tate analy zer menus to s how both wavefo rms and trac e lists in t he same d isplay, mak ing it eas ier to correla te the event s of int erest.
Skew A djustm ent You can modify th e skew o r timing d eviation between mo d ules within the intermod ule measu rement. T hi s allows you to co mpensate for an y known delay of th e sys tem under tes t, or to compare two s ignals by firs t removing any displ ayed skew between the sign al channels .
To adjust for minimum skew between two mo dules invo lved in an intermodule measurement 1 Connect an input signa l from each module to the same signal. An ideal s ignal for t esting skew is a single-s hot sig nal with fast riseti me. Such a signal simpli fies triggering and makes it easie r to correlat e the input event betwe en the modules .
8 Re cor d the diffe rences show n by the two modu les. You can use the X and O markers to measure the differences in delays. 9 Select the Inter module Menu. 10 Select Sk ew, then ente r a s kew corr ection value for one of the mod u les using the kn o b o r the keyb oard.

Using the LA N Inter f ace The LAN I nterface of the HP 16 500C ex tends the Logic Analys is System by making it look like a NFS (Network File System) no de. Using NFS utiliti es f or the PC or NFS on a UNIX workstatio n , you can tran sfer files to and from the HP 16500C as if it were a disk dri ve attache d to you r machine .
To set up the HP 16500C You can set up the H P 16500 C from the front panel, or via t he LAN. To se t up the sys tem via t he LAN, yo u can use one o f three me thods: • Copy a configuration file from your PC or wo rkstat ion to one of the files called setup.
Example You want to load a configurati on file called “486_bus” from the hard disk of the HP 1650 0C into an HP 1 655 0A s tate/ timing modul e. The H P 16550 A i s installe d in slot B o f the HP 1650 0C mainframe. To load the configuratio n file from the HP 1 6500C hard disk, you nee d to send the programming com mand to the analy zer.
To transfer d ata files from the HP 16500C system to you r computer You can transfer data from the HP 16500C syst em to your PC or workstat ion by co pying files .
Example You have an HP 16550 A state /timing analyzer installed in slot C of you r HP 16500C mainframe. The name of analyzer 1 of the HP 16550A is 68000_ BUS. You have created some lab els under analyze r 1 of t he HP 16550A, including one called “addr_lo.
To t ransfer graphics files from th e HP 16500C system to you r comp uter The current dis play of t he HP 1650 0C is avai lable in four different fo rmats. 1 Set up the displa y y ou wan t to transfer. 2 Copy the file in the format of your choice from the dire ctory sy ste mgraph ics .

The Trig ger Se que ncer Logic state and timing analyzer modu les for the HP 1650 0C have trig geri ng and data storage features that allow you to capture only the system acti vity of interes t. Unders tandin g how th ese featur es work will help you set up analyzer trigg er spe cifications that satis fy your measu remen t need s.
Stat e Analyze r Sequenc er wi th Fou r States Each state, excep t for the last, has two branch cond itions . Thes e are the se quence - advance and s e quen ce-else s pecification . (The trig ger-on speci fication is a s pecial s equen ce-advance s peci fication that is describ ed in the section “TRIGG ER On Speci fication .
Sequen ce-Else S pecifi cation The sequ ence-els e branch , sometimes called the “els e if” branch or second ary branch, may branch to any other s tate, inclu d ing the cur rent state , a previ o us s tate, or a l ater state.

5 If You Have a Pr o blem.
If Yo u Ha v e a Problem Occasi onally, a measuremen t may not g ive the e x pected resul ts. If you encoun ter difficulties while mak ing measuremen ts, use this chap ter to guide you throu gh some possi ble soluti o ns. Each head ing lists a probl em you may e ncou nte r, al ong with so me po s sibl e s olu tions.
Anal yzer Probl ems This secti on lists gene ral prob lems that you migh t en counter whil e using th e analyzer. Intermitten t d ata er rors This problem is usually caused by poo r connectio ns, incorrect signal level s, or marginal t iming.
No Setu p/Hold field on format sc reen The HP 16540 and 16541 (A and D models ), or H P 16542A logi c analyzer cards are not calibrat ed. Refer to your logic analyze r reference manual for procedures t o calib rate the cards.
No trace list display If there i s no trace list di splay, it may be that your analy sis specifi cation is not correct fo r the dat a you want to capture , or that the t race memory is only partially fille d. Check your analy s is seq uencer specifi cation to ens ure that it will capture the ev ents of inte rest.
Pre proce s sor Probl ems This secti on lists prob lems that you migh t encoun ter when usin g a prepr ocessor. If the so lutions s uggeste d here do no t correct th e probl em, you may have a defe ctive prep rocess or. Refer to the User’s Guid e for y our pr epr ocessor for test p rocedures .
Slo w clo ck If you have the preprocessor interface hooked up and running and obse rve a slow clo ck or no activit y from t he interface b oard, t he +5 V supply co ming from the analyzer may not be getting to the interface board.
Try doing a ful l reset of the targe t system before begi nning the meas urement. Some preprocess or designs require a full reset to ensure correct configurati on. Ensure that your target syste m meets the ti ming requi rements of the process or with the preproces sor probe ins talled.
Inv erse A ssembl er P roblem s This secti on lists prob lems that you migh t encoun ter whil e usin g the invers e assemb ler. When you obtain inco rrect inverse assembl y results, it may be u n clear whe ther the probl em is in the prepr ocessor or in your targ et syste m.
Check the acti vity indicat ors for stat u s lines locked in a high or low stat e . Verif y that the STAT, DATA, and ADDR forma t labels have not bee n modifi ed from their default value s . These labels must remain as they are configured by the configurati on file.
Intermodul e M e asure m ent Proble ms Some probl ems occur onl y when you are trying to make a measu remen t involvi ng multip le modules . An event wasn’t cap tured b y one of th e m odules If you.
Me ssa g es This secti on lists some of the messages that the analy zer displays whe n i t en coun ters a p rob lem. “Default Calibration Facto rs L oaded” (HP 16540, 16541, and 16542) The default cal i bratio n file fo r the logic anal y zer was loaded.
“Measurement In itialization Error ” This error o ccurs when yo u have instal led the cab les inco rrectly for o ne or two H P 16550A l ogic anal ysis cards. T he fol lowing diag rams show t he correct cable co nnections for one- card and two-card installat ions.
“No Configuration File Load ed” This is usual ly caused b y trying t o lo ad a configurat ion file for one type of module o r the sy st em int o a differe nt type of m odule. Verif y that the appropriate module has b een selected from the Load {module } from Fi le {file name} in the HP 1650 0 di sk operati on menu.
“State Clock Violates Overdrive Specification” At least one 16-channel pod in the state analysis measurement stored a different num ber of states before trig ger than the other pods.
“Wai ting f or Trigger” If a trigg er pattern is specified, t his messag e indicates that the spe cified trigger pattern has not occurre d. Verify that the trigge ring patte rn is correctly set.
