Point
For the diagram shown above, the trigger event was defined as follows:
Match Word = LAG10 (Listen Address Group 10), Match Count =
3,Trigger Delay = 0, Post Count = 24576, and Trigger Complete Action =
Stop.
Once the trigger event was defined, recording and triggering were then
enabled. The Analyzer488 began recording bus transactions, comparing
each event with the defined match word. Each time the match word was
found, the Match Count was decremented. When the Match Count was
decremented to zero, the Analyzer488 began counting and recording bus
events until 24576 events were recorded. At that time, recording was
disabled. The diagram shows that the event marked as the trigger point is
stored at location 8192 and the last event recorded is stored in location
32767.
