Copy Listing to Reference field
The initial Reference image is generated by either copying the data listing
from the listing menu or by loading an analyzer configuration file which
contains a Reference listing. Be aware that if you load an analyzer
configuration to get a Reference image, the other menu setups will change.
When the Copy Listing to Reference field is selected, the contents of the
acquisition data structure (Listing menu display) is copied to the Reference
image buffer. The previous Reference image is lost if it has not been saved to
a disk.
Find Error field
The Find Error field allows you to easily locate any patterns that did not
match in the last comparison. Occurrences of differences, or errors, are
found in numerically ascending order from the start of the listing. The first
occurrence of an error has the numerical value of one.
You select which error number to find by highlighting the Find Error field
and entering a number from the front-panel keypad. If the roll indicator is in
the Find Error field, simply turn the knob. The listing is then scanned
sequentially until the specified occurrence is found and rolled into view.
Compare Full/Compare Partial field
The Compare Full/Compare Partial field is a toggle field which allows you to
compare either the full range of states or define a subset of the total number
of states in the Reference image to be used in the comparison.
The Compare mode is accessed by selecting the Compare Full/Compare
Partial field in either the Compare or Difference listing menus. When
selected, a pop-up appears in which you select either the Full or Partial
option.
When you select the Partial option, fields appear for setting the start state
and stop state values. Only bits in states (lines) on or between the
boundaries are compared against the acquired data.
