Using the Pattern Generator
The pattern generator provides programmable digital output that can
be used to stimulate and control a system under test. These exercises
will show you how to program the pattern generator so that it
provides a pattern of "walking ones." Because the pattern generator is
an output module, the timing analyzer will be used to view the pattern
generator’s output.
These exercises also show you a simple process that represents basic
stimulus/response testing. For example, if you are applying the
"walking ones" pattern from the pattern generator to a memory, you
can use the timing analyzer to see if the "walking ones" pattern is
being written to and read from memory properly.
In this chapter, you will:
• Connect the pattern generator
• Turn on the timing analyzer
• Change a label name
• Modify channel assignments
• Set up the timing analyzer trigger
• Add a pattern generator label to the timing waveform display
• Set up the pattern generator format menu
• Program the pattern generator output
• Add program lines
• Start the pattern generator and view the walking ones pattern
• Stop the pattern generator
