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.
double-click When using a mouse 
as the pointing device, to double-click 
an item, position the cursor over the 
item, and then quickly press and 
release the left mouse button twice.
drag and drop Using a Mouse:
Position the cursor over the item, and 
then press and hold the left mouse 
button. While holding the left mouse 
button down, move the mouse to 
drag the item to a new location. When 
the item is positioned where you 
want it, release the mouse button.
Using the Touchscreen:
Position your finger over the item, 
then press and hold finger to the 
screen. While holding the finger 
down, slide the finger along the 
screen dragging the item to a new 
location. When the item is positioned 
where you want it, release your 
finger.
edge mode In an oscilloscope, this 
is the trigger mode that causes a 
trigger based on a single channel 
edge, either rising or falling.
edge terms Logic analyzer trigger 
resources that allow detection of 
transitions on a signal. An edge term 
can be set to detect a rising edge, 
falling edge, or either edge. Some 
logic analyzers can also detect no 
edge or a glitch on an input signal. 
Edges are specified by selecting 
arrows. The dot (.) ignores the bit. 
The asterisk (*) specifies a glitch on 
the bit. 
emulation module A module 
within the logic analysis system 
mainframe that provides an 
emulation connection to the debug 
port of a microprocessor. An E5901A 
emulation module is used with a 
target interface module (TIM) or an 
analysis probe. An E5901B emulation 
module is used with an E5900A 
emulation probe.
