Using this Manual
Thismanualwillshowyou howto usetheHP 64700 series analyzer
with thefirmware resident TerminalInterface.
Thismanualwill:
•Brieflyintroduce the analyzer and its features.
•Showyou howto use the analyzer in its simplest, power-up condi-
tion. From there, it will progressivelyshowyou howand whyyou
would use additional trace commands.
•Showyou howto use the external analyzer.
•Showyou howto cross-trigger between the emulation analyzer and
the external analyzer.
•Showyou howto specifyanalyzer clocks.
•Show you how to save the analyzer configuration in a command file.
Thismanualwillnot:
•Showyou howto use the analyzer with the PC Interface; thisis
done in the HP 64700 Emulators PC Interface: Analyzer User’s
Guide.
•Showyou howto use the analyzer with the SoftkeyInterface;this is
done in the HP 64700 Emulators Softkey Interface: Analyzer User’s
Guide.
•Describe all analyzer commands options in alphabetical order;this
is done in the HP 64700 Emulators Terminal Interface:User’s Refer-
ence.
•Showyou howto use the external timing analyzer. Timing analysis
is onlyavailable when usinghost computer interfaces such asthe
PC Interface or the SofkeyInterface. Refer to the appropriate host
computer interface Analyzer User’s Guide.
•Show you how to cross-trigger the analyzers of multiple HP 64700
Series emulators over the Coordinated Measurement Bus (CMB);
this is done in the HP 64700 Emulators Terminal Interface: CMB
User’s Guide.
