Introduction to State Analysis

Change a Label Name

Change a Label Name

Labels group channels together. You can rename a label to make it more meaningful. For example, you could use the label name DATA for all of the channels that are connected to the data bus of a microprocessor.

In this exercise, you will change Lab2 to SCOUNT to represent the state count data. The label is named SCOUNT so that you can keep track of the counter output acquired by the state analyzer.

1Highlight the label Lab2 below the Labels field.

2Type SCOUNT, then press the Done key.

3Highlight the field labeled TCOUNT, and press the Select key. Highlight Turn Label Off in the pop-up menu, and press the Select key.

If you have already performed the Introduction to Timing Analysis exercises in chapter 2, this field will be the TCOUNT label, which represents timing count. Turning the label off now saves it for later use.
