Getting Started with FX2LP™
FX2LP Development Tools
As you define waveform transitions, GPIF Designer automatically creates states in the top line
—
in this example,
the four states S0 through S3. This waveform is designed to repeat endlessly as it is designed to produce the
clock outputs. This is accomplished by branching from state 3 back to state 0. Branching to a state is done by
inserting a
decision point
in the Status line
—
click on the dotted clock line at the beginning of the decision state.
GPIF Designer inserts a diamond to signify the decision state. Right-clicking this diamond brings up a dialog box
that allows you to create a logic equation using two variables and three logical operators (AND, OR, XOR) for the
branch condition. An unconditional branch is created by selecting the same state as destination for
if
condition
check and for
else
condition.
