2 Polarity (Pol) Each label has a polarity assigned to it. The default for all the labels is
positive ( + ) polarity. You can change the polarity of a label by touching
the polarity field. This toggles the polarity between positive ( + ) and
negative ( −).
In the state analyzer, negative polarity inverts all the data. In the timing
analyzer, negative polarity inverts all the data, but doesn’t change the
actual waveforms in the Timing Waveforms Menu.
3 Bit Assignment The bit assignment fields allow you to assign bits (channels) to labels.
Above each column of the bit assignment fields is a line that tells you the
bit numbers from 0 to 15, with the left bit numbered 15 and the right bit
numbered 0. This line helps you know exactly which bits you are
assigning.
The convention for bit assignment is:
* (asterisk) indicates assigned bit
. (period) indicates unassigned bit
At power up the 16 bits of Pod 1 are assigned to the timing analyzer, and
the 16 bits of Pod 5 are assigned to the state analyzer.
To change a bit assignment configuration, touch a bit assignment field.
You will see the following pop-up menu.
Use the KNOB to move the cursor to an asterisk or a period you wish to
change. Touch the desired state (asterisk or period) in the pop-up. When
the bits (channels) are assigned as desired, touch DONE.Thisclosesthe
pop-up and displays the new bit assignment in the Format Specification
menu.
