Acquiring Data
Once you load the PPC60X 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 four display formats: 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 2–13.
The default display format shows the Address, Data, Control, Transfer, and Tsiz
channel group values for each sample of acquired data.
The disassembler displays special characters and strings in the instruction
mnemonics to indicate significant events. Table 2–4 shows these special
characters and strings, and gives a definition of what they represent.
