Signal Tap auto start analyzing

Hi all

For debugging my project I use the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer in Quartus II. The time region of interest which I want to see is from the beginning of the first clock cycles. Doing the start of analysis manually, I have no chance to catch this point of time. Is there a possibility to tell the analyzer to start automatically after programming the device?

    Read the SignalTap II documentation and look for power-on triggers. I recall using these to trigger at some point after the FPGA was configured. You can then use JTAG at an arbitrary time later to download the capture traces.
