Glossary 8B/10B encoding A block coding scheme that maps 8-bit data values to 10-bit data values which have 3-8 transitions between 1's and 0's and a balanced number of 1's and 0's. A running disparity is calculated to keep track of the balance. One 10-bit value is used when there is positive disparity, and a different 10-bit value if there is neutral or negative disparity. The 8B/10B block code was designed by IBM in the mid1980's and is used in FibreChannel, InfiniBand, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Glossary A bit is also a position in a label. immediately followed it. card This refers to a single instrument intended for use in the Agilent Technologies 16700A/Bseries mainframes. One card fills one slot in the mainframe. A module may comprise a single card or multiple cards cabled together. context store If your analyzer can perform context store measurements, you will see a button labeled Context Store under the Trigger tab.
Glossary CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) A common technique for detecting data transmission errors. cross triggering Using intermodule capabilities to have measurement modules trigger each other. For example, you can have an external instrument arm a logic analyzer, which subsequently triggers an oscilloscope when it finds the trigger state. data channel A channel that carries data. Data channels cannot be used to clock logic analyzers.
Glossary value. don't care For terms, a "don't care" means that the state of the signal (high or low) is not relevant to the measurement. The analyzer ignores the state of this signal when determining whether a match occurs on an input label. "Don't care" signals are still sampled and their values can be displayed with the rest of the data. Don't cares are represented by the X character in numeric values and the dot (.) in timing edge specifications. dot (.) See edge terms, glitch, labels, and don't care.
Glossary equivalent of an emulation module. Most of the tasks which can be performed using an emulation module can also be performed using an emulation probe connected to your logic analysis system via a LAN. emulator An emulation module or an emulation probe. Ethernet address See link-level address. events Events are the things you are looking for in your target system. In the logic analyzer interface, they take a single line. Examples of events are Label1 = XX and Timer 1 > 400 ns.
Glossary exist in multiple data sets. immediate mode In an oscilloscope, the trigger mode that does not require a specific trigger condition such as an edge or a pattern. Use immediate mode when the oscilloscope is armed by another instrument. interconnect cable Short name for module/probe interconnect cable. intermodule bus The intermodule bus (IMB) is a bus in the frame that allows the measurement modules to communicate with each other. Using the IMB, you can set up one instrument to arm another.
Glossary work with it. Usually used to mean the specific system and tools you are working with right now. MAC layer The Medium Access Control layer is one of two layers that make up the Data Link Layer of the OSI Reference Model. The MAC layer is responsible for moving data packets to and from one Network Intercafe Card (NIC) to another across a shared channel. machine Some logic analyzers allow you to set up two measurements at the same time. Each measurement is handled by a different machine.
Glossary single timebase in its operation. Modules can have from one to five cards functioning as a single instrument. When a module has more than one card, system window will show the instrument icon in the slot of the master card. monitor When using the Emulation Control Interface, running the monitor means the processor is in debug mode (that is, executing the debug exception) instead of executing the user program.
Glossary the transmission medium. In reference to protocol definitions, physical layer describes a protocol that is used at the bottom of the protocol stack on a data bus. pod pair A group of two pods containing 16 channels each, used to physically connect data and clock signals from the unit under test to the analyzer. Pods are assigned by pairs in the analyzer interface. The number of pod pairs available is determined by the channel width of the instrument.
Glossary of data values to be found on the data bus. In the trigger sequence, range terms are considered to be true when any value within the range occurs. relative Denotes time period or count of states between the current state and the previous state. remote display A remote display is a display other than the one connected to the product hardware. Remote displays must be identified to the network through an address location.
Glossary becomes valid, the analyzer samples data from the system under test. Since the analyzer is clocked by the system, state measurements are synchronous with the test system. store qualification Store qualification is only available in a state measurement, not timing measurements. Store qualification allows you to specify the type of information (all samples, no samples, or selected states) to be stored in memory.
Glossary be used in trigger sequences. A term can be a single value on a label or set of labels, any value within a range of values on a label or set of labels, or a glitch or edge transition on bits within a label or set of labels. TIM A TIM (Target Interface Module) makes connections between the cable from the emulation module or emulation probe and the cable to the debug port on the system under test.
Glossary sequence is a sequence of events that you specify. The logic analyzer compares this sequence with the samples it is collecting to determine when to trigger. will be displayed on the screen. You can view any portion of the waveform record in acquisition memory. trigger specification A trigger specification is a set of conditions that must be true before the instrument triggers.
