Listing

The Compare menu is accessed by selecting the field directly to the right of the Module select field in the upper left corner of the screen. When the pop-up appears you will see the options Compare 1, Compare 2 or both depending on which analyzer is a state analyzer. If both analyzers are state analyzers you will see both Compare 1 and Compare 2. You select your desired option by touching the appropriate field in the pop-up.

Once you select Compare, you move between the Compare and Difference Listings (menus) by selecting the field directly below the Module select field. This field toggles between Compare Listing and Difference Listing.

Two menus or displays, in addition to the normal State Listing, are available for making comparison measurements: the Compare Listing and the Difference Listing.

The Compare Listing contains the image, or template, that acquired data is compared to during a comparison measurement. The boundaries of the image, or size of the template, can be controlled by using the channel masking and compare range functions described below. Any bits inside the template displayed as "X" have been set to don’t compare bits.

The Difference Listing

The Difference Listing highlights which bits, if any, in the compare image that differ from those in the acquired data. The bit (or digit containing the bit) that differs from the compare image is highlighted by displaying the bit in a different color.

To display the Compare Listing or the Difference Listing, select the field directly to the right of the Module select field in the upper left corner of the screen. When the pop-up appears, select "Compare 1 (or 2)." Either the Compare Listing or the Difference Listing will appear depending on which of these were previously displayed.
