user-defined set of trigger events. The unit can also be triggered by an
externally supplied signal. An external DB-9 connector provides a path for
externally supplied data or timing data to be recorded along with bus traffic.
This DB-9 connector also provides a path for Merlin to transmit externally
two control, timing, or recovered signals for purposes of probing and use by
other circuitry.
The Merlin software provides powerful search functions that enable
investigation of particular events and allow the software to identify and
highlight specific events. In addition to immediate analysis, you can print
any part of the data. Use the Save As feature to save the data on disk for later
viewing. The program also provides a variety of timing information and
data analysis reports.
