Thanks in advance.2 Replies
Altera_ForumTrigger in: an input signal from an I/O pin or internal to design used essentially as "trigger 0", the first trigger condition looked at by the tool
Trigger out: output signal indicating that a trigger has occurred RAM size: number of samples of captured data you want to store in on-chip RAM; the more samples and signals monitored, the more OCRAM required segment size: divide up the captured data buffer into evenly sized segments, good for observing signal behavior in the design for a trigger that repeats This is all documented here in volume 3 of the Quartus Prime handbook: https://www.altera.com/products/design-software/fpga-design/quartus-prime/support.html You can get detailed training on this here: https://www.altera.com/support/training/catalog.html?coursetype=online&language=english&keywords=signaltap As for your capture question, you just set up a basic AND trigger to capture data when the signal goes high. Look through the documentation and training for details.- Altera_Forum--- Quote Start --- Trigger in: an input signal from an I/O pin or internal to design used essentially as "trigger 0", the first trigger condition looked at by the tool Trigger out: output signal indicating that a trigger has occurred RAM size: number of samples of captured data you want to store in on-chip RAM; the more samples and signals monitored, the more OCRAM required segment size: divide up the captured data buffer into evenly sized segments, good for observing signal behavior in the design for a trigger that repeats This is all documented here in volume 3 of the Quartus Prime handbook: https://www.altera.com/products/design-software/fpga-design/quartus-prime/support.html You can get detailed training on this here: https://www.altera.com/support/training/catalog.html?coursetype=online&language=english&keywords=signaltap As for your capture question, you just set up a basic AND trigger to capture data when the signal goes high.
