Concepts

remove pod assignments. Which pods are removed from the configuration will depend on the widths of each pod in the original analyzer and new analyzer.

The configuration translation also needs to account for many differences in the format and trace menus between the analyzers, including

label names,

polarities,

thresholds,

symbols,

clocking,

number of sequence levels,

branch conditions, and

patterns,

among others.

To ensure that trace measurements act as expected when you move configuration files from one analyzer to another, follow these recommendations:

Ensure that the analyzer pods are hooked up as required by the configuration translation and the new analyzer. The onscreen messages given by the translator will help you identify which analyzer pods must be swapped. If you are using an HP preprocessor, the Preprocessor User’s Guide may contain information showing the cable connections for different analyzer modules.

Review all trace format and trigger menu settings to verify that they will meet your measurement requirements. You should check label assignments, channel masks, pattern and range definitions, sequencer setup, and general analyzer configuration (which pods are mapped to each analyzer).
