Define a Term for the Timing Trigger
For the analyzer to capture the data you want, you need to tell it what to
trigger on by defining a term. Trigger terms are variables that you can use to
tell the analyzer when to start recording data, what to store, and when to
stop.
In this exercise, you will set up the analyzer to trigger when the counter on
the training board reaches its maximum value of 255, or FF (hex). To do this,
you will assign the hex value FF to term "a" of TCOUNT.
