Given the following sample loop sequence:
Step 1 jump step 1 using LC0 count 2
Step 2 jump step 1 using LC1 count 3
Example 1:
If both loop counters reload on terminal count, then the step order will be:
1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2
Example 2:
If loop counter 0 is set to disable, then the step order will be:
1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2

Pipeline
This control programs the pipeline depth.
The pipeline may be from 0-31 Patterns deep. The “0” pipeline depth will
hereafter be called a “zero pipeline depth”. A pipeline depth of “1-31” will
hereafter be called a “non-zero pipeline depth”.
A non-zero pipeline depth offsets the PASS/FAIL result by the corresponding
depth of the pipeline in patterns.
See the
Jumping, Halting, Counting and Logging Errors
section in Chapter 8
for a more in-depth explanation of how pipelining affects jumping, counting burst
errors and the logging of errors in the error Address Memory.

Vector Strobe
This control allows the user to set the vector strobe signal.
The closing edge of the selected window will sample the four vector bits VA0
(LSB) to VA3 (MSB). The vector bits are only used if the vector jump bit is set
during a sequence jump step. The vector bits form an address into the vector
table to determine the jump step and timing set (if timing mode set to indexed).

Setting
Description
Window 1
Sets the closing edge of window 1 as the vector
strobe.
Window 2
Sets the closing edge of window 2 as the vector
strobe.
Window 3
Sets the closing edge of window 3 as the vector
strobe.
