System Performance Analysis (SPA) Software

System Performance Analysis Software

Using symbols for ranges. 

In the Format menu, you can define 

symbols for any available label. The symbols can be defined as Pattern 
Symbols or Range Symbols. For complete information on defining and 
using symbols, see "Symbols field" on page 319.

If you set the base field in the State Histogram display to Symbol, you 
can use any defined range or pattern symbol to set the lower and upper 
values of the ranges.

Tracing All States vs. Qualified States. 

You can qualify the data 

sampled and sorted in the State Histogram by selecting the Trace Type 
field and setting it to Qualified States. This creates a new field at the 
top of the display called "Specify States."

Select Specify States and you will see a pop-up that contains a pattern 
field for every label defined in the Format Specification. Use the 
pattern fields to define the data qualification.

For example, in the State Histogram you may want to monitor the 
address bus of a microprocessor system to examine memory activity. 
But, you may want to monitor only writes to memory. In the Specify 
States pop-up, you can tell the analyzer to sample only memory writes 
by entering under the STATUS label the bit pattern or symbol that 
corresponds to memory writes.
