HP 16510B, 16500A manual Storage Qualifier, Branching Qualifier

3Storage Qualifier

Each sequence level has a storage qualifier. The storage qualifier specifies the states that are to be stored and displayed in the State Listing. Selecting this field gives you the qualifier pop-up menu shown in figure 5-48, with which you specify the qualifier.

As an example, suppose you specify the storage qualifier in a sequence level as shown below.

Figure 5-56. Storage Qualifier Example

4Branching Qualifier

The only states that will be stored and displayed are the states given by pattern recognizers a and d.

Every sequence level except the last has a primary branching qualifier. With the branching qualifier, you tell the analyzer to look for a specific state or states. The primary branching qualifier advances the sequencer to the next level if its qualifier is satisfied.

In the example of figure 5-54, the branching qualifier tells the analyzer when to trigger. In other sequence levels, the qualifier may simply specify a state that the analyzer is to look for before continuing to the next level.

Some sequence levels also have a secondary branching qualifier. The secondary branch will, if satisfied, route the sequencer to a level that you define. This is covered in more detail in "Branches" later in this chapter.
