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.
time-correlated Time correlated
measurements are measurements
involving more than one instrument
in which all instruments have a
common time or trigger reference.
timer terms Logic analyzer
resources that are used to measure
the time the trigger sequence
remains within one sequence step, or
a set of sequence steps. Timers can
be used to detect when a condition
lasts too long or not long enough.
They can be used to measure pulse
duration, or duration of a wait loop. A
single timer term can be used to
delay trigger until a period of time
after detection of a significant event.
timing measurement In a timing
measurement, the logic analyzer
samples data at regular intervals
according to a clock signal internal to
the timing analyzer. Since the
analyzer is clocked by a signal that is
not related to the system under test,
timing measurements capture traces
of electrical activity over time. These
measurements are asynchronous
with the test system.
tool icon Tool icons that appear in
the workspace are representations of
the hardware and software tools
selected from the toolbox. If they are
placed directly over a current
measurement, the tools automatically
connect to that measurement. If they
are placed on an open area of the
main window, you must connect them
to a measurement using the mouse.
toolbox The Toolbox is located on
the left side of the main window. It is
used to display the available
hardware and software tools. As you
add new tools to your system, their
icons will appear in the Toolbox.
tools A tool is a stand-alone piece of
functionality. A tool can be an
instrument that acquires data, a
display for viewing data, or a post-
processing analysis helper. Tools are
represented as icons in the main
window of the interface.
