Making
Coordinated
Measurements
Note
Coordinated measurements are measurements synchronously made in
multiple emulators or analyzers. Coordinated measurements can be
made between HP 64700 Series emulators which communicate over
the Coordinated Measurement Bus (CMB). Coordinated
measurements can also be made between an emulator and some other
instrument connected to the BNC connector.
This section will describe coordinated measurements made from the
PC Interface which involve the emulator. These types of coordinated
measurements are:
Running the emulator on reception of the CMB /EXECUTE
signal.
Using the analyzer trigger to break emulator execution into
the monitor.
You must use the background emulation monitor to perform
coordinated measurements.
Three signal lines on the CMB are active and serve the following
functions when enabled:
/TRIGGER
Active low. The analyzer trigger line on the CMB
and on the BNC serve the same logical purpose.
They provide a means for the analyzer to drive its
trigger signal out of the system or for external
trigger signals to arm the analyzer or break the
emulator into its monitor.
READY
Active high. This line is for synchronized,
multi-emulator start and stop. When CMB run
control interaction is enabled, all emulators are
required to break to background upon reception of a
false READY signal and will not return to
foreground until this line is known to be in a true
state.
