6.3.4.1 Sequential
Figure 6.4 shows the Trigger tab of the Complex Trigger Settings dialog for
Sequential event selection.
1. Select Sequential if each event must occur in sequence to generate the
trigger.
2. Click on a tab to enter information about each event (Event 1, Event 2,
Event 3) and the trigger event (Trigger).
Figure 6.4: Complex Trigger - Sequential Event Selection
Keep in mind that for sequential triggers, the emulator will wait until Event 1 is
satisfied before proceeding to Event 2, and on down to the final Trigger
event. If only one trigger event is specified and it is placed in Event 1, extra
instruction cycles will be executed while the emulator determines that Event
2, Event 3 and the Trigger event have been satisfied. Therefore, always
right-justify the trigger specification; that is, use the right-most event tabs first.
