Analysis Tools: Bus Values
 
Verify all data is correct for a channel group or a converted serial bus.
 
 
Source Data
 
Type
 
Define the values to use for verifying the trace data.
 
Type: Pattern
 
Enter a starting hex value. If needed, check the "auto-increment" option and enter the amount to increase between bus values. If needed, check the "Limit pattern" option and enter the number of values in the pattern.
 
Type: Series
 
Enter 2 to 8 hex values in the edit boxes.
 
Type: Text File
 
Use the "File..." button to select the text file name.
 
Each line in the ASCII file is a hex value compared to each bus value in the trace capture. Bus values which differ from the text file are errors. When all the text lines are used, the test restarts using the first line in the file. This process repeats until the end of the trace data is reached.
 
Type: Binary File
 
Same as an ASCII text file above, except the correct values are stored in raw binary format. No header or other data can exist in the raw binary file.

Summary
 
Re-sync After Each Error.
 
When checked, the software searches forward and finds the first comparison value after each error is marked.
 
This option is useful for repeating patterns.
 
Ignore The First Error
 
When checked, the first error is ignored to synchronize the comparison pattern to the data.
 
This option is useful when combined with the "Re-sync after each error" option.
 
Group / Serial bus
 
Select a channel group or a source serial bus to verify. When a serial bus with a protocol is selected, only the data fields are verified. Address, command, etc. fields are ignored.
 
Serial Bus Signal
 
Select the serial bus signal if needed.
 
Value Time
 
Enter an elapsed time for the valid bus values.
 
The Value Time ignores narrow, invalid states between bus values which usually occur when Normal Timing or Transitional mode oversamples the data.
 
Series Count
 
When the "Type: Series" option is selected, enter the number of hex values in the series.
 
Base Value
 
Enter the first value in the repeating pattern.
 
Auto-increment Base Value by X.
 
When checked, enter an increment value to use after each comparison.
 
Limit Pattern To X
 
Enter the number of values in the repeating pattern.
 
File
 
Enter the filename for the "Type: Text File" or "Type: Binary File" options.
 
Data Type
 
The text or binary comparison files can be stored a 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit format for the "Type: Text File" or "Type: Binary File" options.
 
Value #N
 
When the "Type: Series" option is selected, enter each hex value in these edit boxes.
