5.7 Trace Functions
5.7.1 Displaying the Trace Information
• The states of IRQ15 to IRQ0 are ORed and this result is applied as the IRQ condition.
• The executed instructions and timestamp cannot be displayed together.
5.7.2 Specifying Trace Acquisition Conditions
• The trace will stop several cycles after a condition is satisfied.
• The state of IRQ15 to IRQ0 are ORed and this result is applied as the IRQ condition.
• Six or more bus cycles are required between pass points of sequential trace stop conditions and reset
condition.
• Six or more bus cycles are required between the start and end of measurement when [1-2], [3-4], or [5-6] is
specified in [Run time count between trigger outputs] of the [Trace Acquisition Properties] dialog box.
• Fifteen or more bus cycles are required between the start and end of measurement when [7-8] is specified in
[Run time count between trigger outputs] of the [Trace Acquisition Properties] dialog box.
• Six or more bus cycles are required between trace stop mode conditions.
• A sequential break or a trace stop may be incorrect when the user program is executed after the specified
address condition has been applied as the PC address to start execution.
• The Point to Point trace mode is not available when channel 1 is used for the performance analysis function.
5.7.3 Searching for a Trace Record
• When the range for searching is specified in the [General] page, a PTR value to end the search can be
specified in the [Start PTR] option, and a PTR value to start the search can be specified in the [End PTR].
• When the user clock (i.e. system clock signal φ) has been selected in [Time measurement unit] of the [Trace
Acquisition Properties] dialog box, no time stamp information will be searched.
5.7.4 Filtering Trace Records
• After the trace information is filtered, all trace information displayed in the [Trace] window is saved; a range
for saving trace information cannot be specified. To save a specific range of trace information, the filter
range must be specified in the [General] page of the [Trace Filter] dialog box.
• When the user clock (i.e. system clock signal φ) has been selected in [Time measurement unit] of the [Trace
Acquisition Properties] dialog box, no time stamp information will be filtered.
5.8 Monitor Function
The foreground and background colors cannot be changed in some operating systems.
