by the channel width of the
instrument.
pod See pod pair
point To point to an item, move the
mouse cursor over the item, or
position your finger over the item.
preprocessor See analysis probe.
primary branch The primary
branch is indicated in the Trigger
sequence step dialog box as either
the Then find or Trigger on
selection. The destination of the
primary branch is always the next
state in the sequence, except for the
Agilent Technologies 16517A. The
primary branch has an optional
occurrence count field that can be
used to count a number of
occurrences of the branch condition.
See also secondary branch.
probe A device to connect the
various instruments of the logic
analysis system to the target system.
There are many types of probes and
the one you should use depends on
the instrument and your data
requirements. As a verb, "to probe"
means to attach a probe to the target
system.
processor probe See emulation
probe.
range terms Logic analyzer
resources that represent ranges of
values to be found on labeled sets of
bits. For example, range terms could
identify a range of addresses to be
found on the address bus or a range
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
