Introduction to State Analysis

Define a Term for the State Trigger

Define a Term for the State Trigger

For the state analyzer to capture the data you want, you need to tell it what to trigger on by defining a term. Trigger terms are used in the trigger specification to tell the analyzer when to start recording data, what to store, and when to stop.

1Press the Trigger MENU key.

2Highlight the base field under SCOUNT, and press the Select key. Highlight Hex in the pop-up menu, and press the Select key.

Hex is the default setting. Notice that there are other display options other than hex.

3Under SCOUNT, highlight the field to the right of b, enter 00, and press the Done key.

The "b" term is a variable to which you can assign a value.

The base field is used to specify the type of values entered.

A term is a variable that stores a value. In this exercise, you selected Hex, and entered the hex value 00 for the "b" term.

Result

SCOUNT’s "b" term is assigned the value 00 (hex). The "b" term is a variable

 

that the analyzer will trigger on once you set up the trigger specification in

 

the next exercise.
