Acquiring and Viewing Disassembled Data
This section describes how to acquire data and view it disassembled. Information
covers the following topics and tasks:
H
Acquire data
H
View disassembled data in various display formats
H
Cycle type labels
H
Change the way data is displayed
H
Change disassembled cycles with the mark cycles function
NOTE . The disassembly software is optimized to decode instruction streams and
bus activities from Intel microprocessors and AMD-K6-2; therefore, the
disassembler may not support unique characteristics of other manufacturers.
However, you can reliably conduct timing analysis of nonIntel Socket 7
processors and use the high-level source debug capabilities of a Tektronix logic
analyzer. Consult your Tektronix field office for future enhancements.
Acquiring Data
Once you load the SOCKET7_ support, choose a clocking mode, and specify the
trigger, you are ready to acquire and disassemble data.
If you have any problems acquiring data, refer to information on basic operations
in your online help or Appendix A: Error Messages and Disassembly Problems in
the basic operations user manual.
Viewing Disassembled Data
You can view disassembled data in five display formats: Timing, Hardware,
Software, Control Flow, and Subroutine. The information on basic operations
describes how to select the disassembly display formats.
NOTE . Selections in the Disassembly property page (the Disassembly Format
Definition overlay) must be set correctly for your acquired data to be disas-
sembled correctly. Refer to Changing How Data is Displayed on page 2–17.
