ChipScope Pro Analyzer Features
•
A spinning, partially filled pie icon indicates that the trigger and/or capture logic is
active
•
A solidly filled pie icon indicates the capture buffer is full and the trigger logic is idle.
The trigger status icon also appears in the title bar of the minimized trigger setup window.
This is useful for monitoring the trigger status of multiple ILA cores.
Detailed trigger and capture status information also appears in the Messages pane (or
console window).
Waveform Window
To view the waveform for a particular ILA core, select
Window > New Unit Windows
, and
the core desired. A dialog box appears for that ChipScope Pro core unit, and you can select
the

The Waveform window displays the sample buffer as a waveform display, similar to many

To perform a signal operation, right-click a signal or bus in the
Bus/Signal
column.

Buses and signals can be reordered in the Waveform window. Select one or more signals

Note:
Signals can be moved within a bus by first selecting one or more signals within the bus, then
by using the Alt-UpArrow and Alt-DownArrow keystroke combinations.

Signals and buses can be cut, copied, pasted, or deleted using right-click menus. Select one
or more signals and/or buses, right click a selected signal or bus, and select the operation
desired. Alternatively, the standard Windows key combinations are available (
Ctrl+X

cut,
Ctrl+C
for copy,
Ctrl+V
for paste,
