The Actions screen serves as a means of setting Triggers, Filters (In or Out), and
Counts for the events selected in the Events window.
Actions Window Layout
The Actions window displays buttons for the events selected in the Events window.
Events buttons tell Advisor what it should look for during a recording. The number of
Event buttons displayed depends on the number of Events selected in the Events
window. If no Events are selected, no Event buttons are displayed.
The upper right corner of the window displays a pair of counters called Count1 and
Count2 . Counters provide a way for setting triggers based on a passage of a certain
number of events. When an event is linked to a counter, the counter attaches below that
event. In the following example, Advisor is set to trigger following an In Packet Identifier,
then a 25 counts of a token
or an In Packet Identifier, then a Token, then an Error.
The lower right corner displays the Trigger , Filter Out , and Restart buttons. Action
buttons controls the Advisor response to Event conditions. For example, if an Error button
is linked to a Trigger button, the Action button tells Advisor to trigger when the error
condition occurs.
The lines that join the different buttons indicate the links between Actions and Events.
