Formatting Labels for Logic Analyzer Probes

3. In the Change Bit Order dialog:

• To reorder the bits individually, enter the bit that the probe channel

should be mapped to.

• To swap the high and low order bytes or words, select the button Big

Endian to Little Endian at the bottom of the dialog.

• To return to sequentially ordered bits, select the button Default Order

at the bottom of the dialog.

4. Select the OK button.

The label now shows an "R" to ind icate that the assigned bit has been

reordered.

NOTE: Labels with reordered bits cannot be used as range terms or <, <=,>, >= in

triggers.

To turn labels off or on

When you temporarily want to remove a label and its data, you can turn

off the label. The label name and its bit assignments are preserved.

To turn a label off

1. In the Format tab, se lect the label button that you want to turn off.

2. Choose Label [ON] to toggle it off.

At least one label must remain on.

To turn a label on

1. In the Format tab, se lect the label button that you want to turn on.

2. Choose Label [OFF] to toggle it on.

To display a label that was off

1. Turn on the label.

2. At the botto m of the window, select the Apply button.
