Trigger inhibited during timing prestore
The "trigger inhibited" informational message appears when you have a
logic analyzer making a conventional timing measurement, and it is
set to a slow sample rate. The logic analyzer will fill the designated
amount of pre-trigger memory before checking for the trigger
condition.
To calculate how long this should take, multiply the sample rate by the
percentage of pre-trigger memory and the acquisition depth. For
example, if
sample period = 1.0 ms (sample rate = 10
3
samples/sec.)
trigger position = center (percentage of pre-trigger memory = 50%)
acquisition depth = 64K (roughly 64 x 10
3
samples)
then the approximate time is 32 seconds.
Trigger Specification is too complex
The "Trigger Specification is too complex" message means that the
trigger sequence contains more unique event list expressions than can
be allocated to the available combiner resources in the analyzer
hardware.
The analyzer has a maximum limit of 16 event list combiner resources.
Each unique event list expression requires the use of at least one of
these combiner resources. A complex event list may require more than
one combiner resource.
The message does not mean that any single event list expression was
too complex to combine (see Branch expression is too complex), but
that the overall number of unique branch expressions specified has
exceeded the limit of 16.
In order to compile and run, the total number of unique event list
