Symbol Utility Introduction

The Symbol Utility provides you with a new way to view your logic

analysis data. The Symbol Utility maps trace data onto meaningful,

symbolic names. The symbols can include variable names, procedure or

function names, and source file names and line numbers. The linkage

between the symbol names and the trace data values comes from one

of two sources:

•Object Module Format (OMF) files generated by y our compiler and linker,

•ASCII files that you create with a text editor

Using the symbol utility, you have two new capabilities:

•you can view symbols from OMF files in a logic analyzer state listing

•you can use the OMF symbols as trigger terms in a logic analyzer trigger

specification.

NOTE: We assume that you are familiar with the operation of your logic analyzer. If

not, refer to the Logic Analyzer Training Kit for information on how to use the

logic analyzer interface or the appropriate User's Guide for details on the

system menus and functions.

NOTE: Refer to your software tool documentation for information about how to

generate OMF files during compilation and linking.
