5.6 Trace Functions
5.6.1 Displaying the Trace Information
• The same hardware resource is used for acquisition of time stamps and the IRQ signals in the trace function.
Accordingly, the trace contents differ depending on the [Selection of the trace contents] setting in the [Trace
Acquisition Properties] dialog box.
Table 5.7 Trace Contents
Setting Description
When [Timestamp] is selected Acquires and displays timestamp in 32 bits. The IRQ signals
are not acquired.
When [IRQ7-0 all indications] is
selected
Acquires and displays the IRQ signals. The time stamp is
displayed with the lower 16 bits fixed to 0.
• When the user clock (system clock signal φ) has been selected for [Time measurement unit] in the [Trace
acquisition] dialog box, the time stamp is displayed for 32 bits in hexadecimal.
5.6.2 Specifying Trace Acquisition Conditions
• The trace will stop several cycles after a condition is satisfied.
• Six or more bus cycles are required between pass points of sequential trace stop conditions and reset
condition.
• Six or more bus cycles are required between the start and end of measurement when [1-2], [3-4], or [5-6] is
specified in [Run time count between trigger outputs] of the [Trace Acquisition Properties] dialog box.
• Fifteen or more bus cycles are required between the start and end of measurement when [7-8] is specified in
[Run time count between trigger outputs] of the [Trace Acquisition Properties] dialog box.
• Six or more bus cycles are required from the start of execution to satisfaction of a trace stop mode condition.
• A sequential break or a trace stop may be incorrect when the user program is executed after the specified
address condition has been applied as the PC address to start execution.
• The Point to Point trace mode is not available when channel 1 is used for the performance analysis function.
5.6.3 Searching for a Trace Record
• When the range for searching is specified in the [General] page, a PTR value to end the search can be
specified in the [Start PTR] option, and a PTR value to start the search can be specified in the [End PTR].
• When the user clock (i.e. system clock signal φ) has been selected in [Time measurement unit] of the [Trace
Acquisition Properties] dialog box, no time stamp information will be searched.
5.6.4 Filtering Trace Records
• After the trace information is filtered, all trace information displayed in the [Trace] window is saved; a range
for saving trace information cannot be specified. To save a specific range of trace information, the filter
range must be specified in the [General] page of the [Trace Filter] dialog box.
• When the user clock (i.e. system clock signal φ) has been selected in [Time measurement unit] of the [Trace
Acquisition Properties] dialog box, no time stamp information will be filtered.
