Repetitive Comparisons with a Stop Condition

HP 16510B Front-Panel Reference

When you do a comparison in the repetitive trace mode, a stop condition should be specified. The stop condition is either "Stop Measurement" when Compare is "Equal," "Not Equal" or "Off." In the case of "Equal", bits in the compare image must match the corresponding bits in the acquired data image for the stop condition to be a TRUE. In the case of "Not Equal", a mismatch on a single bit will cause the stop condition to be TRUE. When stop conditions are specified in two analyzers, both analyzers stop when the stop condition of either analyzer is satisfied. It is an OR function.

The stop measurement function is accessed by selecting the "Specify Stop Measurement" field found in either the Compare or Difference Listing menus (see figure 9-4). When this field is selected, the "Stop Measurement" pop-up appears. The first field in this pop-up, just to the right of "when," contains either "X-O" or "Compare". When this field is selected, a pop-up appears in which you select "Compare". When you select the "Compare" option, you can access and select either the "Equal", "Not Equal" or "Off" option in the next field to the right.
