Resource Terms
The analyzer has four resources and one timer/counter. The four
resources can be represented by up to six resource term names,
patt1
−
patt4 bit patterns, and edges 1
−
2 (timing only). The pattern
and edge terms are used in any of the four sequence levels.
Once you assign the four resources with both a resource term name
and a value, the resources can be used either by themselves or in
combination with each other. It is possible to have up to six resource
term names assigned to different pattern and edge values, however,
you will only be allowed to insert up to four of them in the total trigger
specification.
Pattern duration is assigned per sequence level. This means that you
could assign a different duration to the same term name in a different
sequence level. However, each time you use that same term with
different duration values, you use up another resource. In other
words, there is no difference in using one resource term four times
with different pattern durations than to use all four resource terms
once.
Since the timer can operate individually within each sequence level, it
is like actually having up to four timers in the total trigger
specification. However, if you choose to use a timer, the occurrence
counter is not available in that same level. On a per-sequence level
basis, the timer/counter is either a timer or a counter, but not both. In
addition to the timer/counter, the resource terms are separated into
two groups:
•
Bit Patterns Terms patt1
−
patt4
•
Edge Terms 1 and 2 (Timing only)
