ChipScope Pro Analyzer Features
Enable Logging
The
Enable Logging
toolbar button and
System Monitor
>
Enable Logging
menu option
enables the file logging feature that saves the System Monitor sensor data in a text file for
use in offline analysis.
System Monitor Data Logging
The
System Monitor
>
Setup Logging
menu option opens the dialog window. The
settings in this window are used to customize the
logging
feature
.
Log File
The
Browse
button is used to select the location of the System Monitor log file. The default
location is
<
CHIPSCOPE_INSTALL
>/bin/<
PLATFORM
>/system_monitor.log
,
where
<
CHIPSCOPE_INSTALL
>
is the installation directory and
<
PLATFORM
>
is the
operating system platform (nt, nt64, lin, lin64, or sol).
Log File Format
The System Monitor log file is a text file that can be formatted in two different ways:
comma-separated value (CSV) file for machine processing or as a human-readable
formatted file.
Log File Limit
The System Monitor logging system can generate a lot of data that consumes a large
amount of disk space. To alleviate the problem, the log data can be split across multiple
separate files based on a log file limit. The log file limit can be based on a specific number
of samples or by file size (in kilobytes).
IBERT v2.0 Console Window for Virtex-5 FPGA GTX Transceivers
