Using the Logic Analyzer
Using the Analyzer Menus
To create a symbol
Symbols are alphanumeric mnemonics that represent specific data
patterns or ranges. When you define a symbol and set the base type to
Symbol in the Listing menu, the symbol is displayed in the data listing
where the bit pattern would normally be displayed. The symbols also
appear in the Waveform menu when you view a label in bus form.
Symbols allow you to quickly identify data of interest.
To create a symbol, use the following procedure.
1 In the Analyzer Format menu, select Symbols.
The symbol table menu appears. The symbol table is where all user
symbols are created and maintained. If you get a message, "No labels
specified," check that you have at least one label turned on with
channels assigned to it.
2 In the Symbol menu, select the Label field. In the pop-up menu,
select the label that contains the channel groups you want.
When you open the symbol table menu, the Label field displays the
name of the first active label.
If the label you want does not appear in the pop-up menu, the label is
probably off. Return to the Format menu, select the label you want,
and select Turn Label On. Another possibility is that the label is on the
other analyzer. The two analyzers manage resources separately.
3 Select the Base field. In the pop-up menu, select the base for the
pattern.
In this example, binary is used because CYCLE only contains three
channels.
4 Select the field below Symbol. Select Add a Symbol, type in the
symbol name, then press Done.
