Triggering Examples
Cross-Arming Trigger Examples
To monitor two coprocessors in a target
system
Debugging coprocessor systems can be a complex task. Replicated
systems and contention for shared resources increase the potential
problems. Using two state analyzers with analysis probes can make it
much easier to discover the source of such problems. For example, you
may want to set up one analyzer to trigger only when a certain problem
occurs, and set up the other analyzer to be armed by the first analyzer
so that it takes its trace only when the first analyzer recognizes its
trigger. This will let you observe the behavior of both coprocessors
during the occurrence of a problem.
1Set up both analyzers as state analyzers.
2Go to the first analyzer’s Trigger menu.
3Set the second analyzer to be run from the first analyzer.
4Turn on Count Time.
5Set the first analyzer to trigger on the problem condition.
Some problems may involve com plex sequences of conditions. Se e
earlier examples in this chapter for more information on defining
trigger sequences.
6Go to the Trigger menu of the second analyzer.
