Align to xx Byte Option
Most processors do not fetch instructions from memory on byte
boundaries. In order to trigger a logic analyzer on a symbol at an odd-
numbered address, the address must be masked off. The "Align to
Byte" option allows you to mask off an address.
Example The symbol "main" occurs at address 100F. The processor being probed
is a 68040, which fetches instructions on long word (4-byte)
boundaries. In order to trigger on the address 100F, the address must
be masked off to the nearest 4-byte boundary. The Align to Byte option
would be set to "Align to 4 bytes." The Symbol Utility masks the
address of the symbol "main" to 100C hex before it is used as a trigger
term.
