5.10.5 Block Find
This command allows you to search a marked block for a particular
event. This command may be used with either the Analyzer Window or the
File Window. A dialog box similar to the one shown below will appear and
prompt for a event to find. Use the cursor keys or mouse to move between
the various fields.
The Match Pattern dialog box allows you to specify the state of all
data lines and bus management lines. The state of the data lines may be
specified as an IEEE 488 bus command, a hexadecimal byte, an ASCII
character, or a binary byte. Depending on the format used, a message will
appear in the Options box specifying which entries are valid.
If Message (MSG) format is selected, the state of the data lines may be
specified as an IEEE 488 bus command (refer to the ASCII table in
Appendix H which lists IEEE 488 bus commands and their ASCII
equivalent). If not specified, 'don't care' is the default.
If Hexadecimal (HEX) format is selected, the state of the data lines
may be specified as a hexadecimal number between 00 and FF. If not
specified, 'don't care' is the default.
If Character (CH) format is selected, the state of the data lines may be
specified as any printable ASCII character (refer to the ASCII table in
Appendix H which lists IEEE 488 bus commands and their ASCII
equivalent). If not specified, 'don't care' is the default.
If Binary format is selected, the state of the data lines may be
specified as a binary number including 'don't cares'. If a line is specified as
a don't care, it is not used in the comparison.
The state of any bus management line may be specified as asserted
(1), unasserted (0), or 'don't care' (X).
