3 Branches The Branches field allows you to configure the sequencer of your state
analyzer to branch from one sequence level to another with secondary
branching qualifiers, or to restart when a certain condition is met.
Selecting this field gives you the following pop-up menu.
Off. If you select Off, all secondary branching qualifiers are deleted from
the sequence levels. Only the primary branches remain.
Restart. The Restart option allows you to start over from sequence level 1
when a specified condition is met. This can be handy if you have code that
branches off in several paths and you want the analyzer to follow one
certain path. If the analyzer goes off on an undesired path, you would want
the analyzer to stop and go back to the beginning and take the correct path.
If you select the Restart option, you will see a qualifier pop-up menu like
that shown in figure 5-48. With the pop-up you select the qualifier for the
pattern on which you want your analyzer to start over.
When your state analyzer is reading data it proceeds through the sequence.
If a term doesn’t match the branching qualifier, it is then checked against
Restart. If the term matches, the state analyzer jumps back the sequence
level 1.
