The configuration translation also needs to account for many
differences in the format and trace menus between the analyzers,
including label names, polarities, thresholds, symbols, clocking,
number of sequence levels, branch conditions, and patterns, among
others.
To ensure that trace measurements act as expected when you move
configuration files from one analyzer to another, follow these
recommendations:
•
Ensure that the analyzer pods are hooked up as required by the
configuration translation and the new analyzer. The onscreen
messages given by the translator will help you identify which
analyzer pods must be swapped. If you are using an HP
preprocessor, the preprocessor User’s Guide may contain
information showing the cable connections for different analyzer
models.
•
Review all trace format and trigger menu settings to verify that they
will meet your measurement requirements. You should check label
assignments, channel masks, pattern and range definitions,
sequencer setup, and general analyzer configuration (which pods
are mapped to each analyzer).
When you move a configuration file from one analyzer to another, the trace data
from previous measurements is not moved. If you need to store trace data for
future reference, see "To save a listing in ASCII format" in Chapter 6.
