To selectively store branch conditions (State only)
Besides setting up your trigger levels to store anystate, no state, or some
subset of states, you can also choose whether or not to store branch
conditions. Branch conditions are always stored by default, and can make
tracing the analyzer’s path through a complicated trigger easier. If you really
need the extra memory, however, it is possible to not store the branch
conditions.
You cannot set the analyzer to store only some branches in a trigger
sequence specification.
