2.4.4 Recording Statistics
While recording, the Analyzer488 maintains various statistics about
the number of bus events which have occurred and the position of particular
bus events within the Analyzer488 record memory. When recording is first
enabled these statistics are reset to zero or set to default values.
The statistics include the following:
Total number of bus events which have occurred 0 to 99,999,999
Total number of bus events in memory 0 to 32,768
Total number of bus events which occurred prior 0 to 99,999,999
to the trigger event
Total number of bus events in memory which 0 to 32,767
occurred prior to the trigger point event
Total number of bus events which occurred after 0 to 99,999,999
the trigger signal
Total number of bus records in memory which 0 to 32,767
occurred after the trigger point event
Location of the earliest recorded bus record 0 to 32767 or invalid
Location of the last recorded bus record 0 to 32767 or invalid
Location of the trigger point event 0 to 32767 or invalid
2.4.5 Statistics Formulas
The total number of bus events can exceed the record memory size of the
Analyzer488. The Analyzer488 will count up to 99,999,999 bus events before
resetting the statistics. The maximum total number of recorded events is 32,768,
the size of the record memory. Below are simple equations showing how the
Total Event and Total number of recorded events are computed. In each
equation, the trigger point counts as one event.
