Trace RAM End High Register – Read and Write

ADDR

Plug-In LA+0x2C

 

D15-D4

Unused

Data written to these bits have no affect and read back as 1s.

 

 

Sets the four most significant bits of the ending address of the

D3-D0

 

Trace RAM, allowing the available RAM to be divided into

 

 

multiple traces.

 

Trace RAM End Low Register – Read and Write

ADDR

Plug-In LA+0x2E

 

 

Sets the 16 least significant bits of the ending address of the Trace

D15-D0

 

RAM, allowing the available RAM to be divided into multiple

 

 

traces.

Trace RAM Address HIGH Register – Read and Write

ADDR

Plug-In LA+0x30

 

D15-D4

Unused

Data written to these bits have no affect and read back as 1s.

 

 

Sets and reads back the four most significant bits of the current

D3-D0

 

address of the Trace RAM, allowing the current trace RAM

 

 

address to be queried and changed.

 

Trace RAM Address LOW Register – Read and Write

ADDR

Plug-In LA+0x32

 

 

Sets and reads back the sixteen least significant bits of the current

D15-D0

 

address of the Trace RAM, allowing the current trace RAM

 

 

address to be queried and changed.

 

 

Trace Advance Trigger Select Register – Write Only

 

ADDR

Plug-In LA+0x34

 

 

 

Sets the TTLTRIG line or lines, which are configured as outputs,

 

 

 

and will toggle when Trace Advance condition occurs in the

 

D15-D8

 

module. D15 corresponds to TTLTRIG7, D14 to TTLTRIG6, …

 

 

and D8 to TTLTRIG0. Setting a bit to a 1 enables the trigger line,

 

 

 

 

 

 

setting a bit to 0 disables the corresponding line. All bits are set to

 

 

 

0s when either a soft or a hard reset is received by the module.

 

 

 

Sets the TTLTRIG line or lines, which are configured as inputs,

 

 

 

and will cause a Trace Advance event to occur in the module. D7

 

 

 

corresponds to TTLTRIG7, D6 to TTLTRIG6, … and D0 to

 

D7-D0

 

TTLTRIG0. Setting a bit to a 1 enables the trigger line, setting a

 

 

bit to 0 disables the corresponding line. All enabled TTLTRIG

 

 

 

 

 

 

lines are OR’d together to allow more than one TTLTRIG line to

 

 

 

cause a Trace Advance event to occur. All bits are set to 0s when

 

 

 

the module receives either a soft or a hard reset.
