Starting/Stopping Multiple Emulators

When HP 64700 Card Cages are connected together via the Coordinated
Measurement Bus (CMB), you can start and stop up to 32 emulators at the
same time.  These are called synchronous measurements.

This section describes how to:

•

Enable synchronous measurements.

•

Start synchronous measurements.

•

Disable synchronous measurements.

To enable synchronous measurements

•

Enter the 

specify run

 command.

You can enable the emulator’s interaction with the CMB by using the

specify run

 command.  When the EXECUTE signal is received, the emulator

will run at the current program counter address or the address specified in
the specify run command.

Note that when the CMB is being actively controlled by another emulator, the
step command does not work correctly.  The emulator may end up running in
user code (NOT stepping).  Disable CMB interaction (see "To disable
synchronous measurements" below) while stepping the processor.

Note that enabling CMB interaction does not affect the operation of analyzer
cross-triggering.

You can use the 

specify trace

 command to specify that an analyzer

measurement begin upon reception of the CMB EXECUTE signal.

The trace measurement defined by the 

specify trace

 command will be

started when the EXECUTE signal becomes active.  When the trace
measurement begins, you will see the message "CMB execute; emulation
trace started".

When you enter a normal 

trace

 command, trace at execute is disabled, and

the analyzer ignores the CMB EXECUTE signal.
