To monitor the activity of two coprocessors in a target
system
Debugging coprocessor systems can be a complex task. Replicated systems
and contention for shared resources increase the potential problems. Using
two state analyzers with preprocessors can make it much easier to discover
the source of such problems. For example, you may wish to set up one
analyzer to trigger only when a certain problem occurs, and set up the other
analyzer to be armed by the first analyzer so that it takes its trace only when
the first analyzer recognizes its trigger. This will let you observe the behavior
of both coprocessors during the occurrence of a problem.
1
Select the Intermodule menu.
2 Select the first state analyzer from the Modules list and set it to
Group Run. Select the second state analyzer and set it to respond to
the arm signal from the first analyzer.
3 Select the Trigger menu of the first analyzer.
4 Set the first analyzer to trigger on the problem condition.
Some problems may involve complex sequences of conditions. See chapter 1,
“Triggering,” for more information on defining a trigger sequence.
5
Select the Trigger menu of the second analyzer.
6 Set the second analyzer to trigger on any state and store any state.
