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.
remote session A remote session is
when you run the logic analyzer using
a display that is located away from
the product hardware.
right-click When using a mouse for
a pointing device, to right-click an
item, position the cursor over the
item, and then quickly press and
release the right mouse button.
sample A data sample is a portion of
a data set, sometimes just one point.
When an instrument samples the
target system, it is taking a single
measurement as part of its data
acquisition cycle.
Sampling Use the selections under
the logic analyzer Sampling tab to tell
the logic analyzer how you want to
make measurements, such as State
vs. Timing.
secondary branch The secondary
branch is indicated in the Trigger
sequence step dialog box as the Else
on selection. The destination of the
secondary branch can be specified as
any other active sequence state. See
also primary branch.
session A session begins when you
start a local session or remote
session from the session manager,
and ends when you select Exit from
the main window. Exiting a session
returns all tools to their initial
configurations.
skew Skew is the difference in
channel delays between
measurement channels. Typically,
skew between modules is caused by
differences in designs of
measurement channels, and
differences in characteristics of the
electronic components within those
channels. You should adjust
measurement modules to eliminate
as much skew as possible so that it
does not affect the accuracy of your
measurements.
state measurement In a state
measurement, the logic analyzer is
clocked by a signal from the system
under test. Each time the clock signal
