Transition Filter and Condition Register
The transition lter allows you to select which transitions of the analyzer condition will set a
bit in the event register .
When the status register has a transition lter , there is a lower register called a condition
register under the event register . The transition lter is between the event register and
the condition register . The transition lter enables you to select a positive and/or negative
transition of the condition register bit to set a bit in the corresponding event register . F or
example , if you set the negative transition lter , a 1 is set in the event register by changing
from 1 to 0 in the event register .
