Search for a Capture Event

To search for a specific GPIB event within a capture display from the current cursor location, complete the following steps:

1. Switch to an inactive Capture Display window.
2. Click the Find... button.
3. Enter your search criteria in the Find dialog box.

To find a trigger point in the Capture Display window, check the Find Trigger checkbox.

To find a particular data and control line pattern, set the pattern of the data lines using either the ASCII or Hex edit controls or the D8 to D1 spin controls (for binary values), and set the pattern of the control lines using the EOI, ATN, SRQ, REN, IFC, NRFD, NDAC, and DAV spin controls. Notice that the spin controls allow you to select 0 (unasserted), 1 (asserted), or x (don't care) for each data and control line.

To find a series of GPIB data and control line patterns, use the Insert Above, Insert Below, and Delete buttons to add and remove entries from the Find String list box until it contains the desired series of GPIB data and control line patterns.

Use the Search Direction switch to specify the direction to search from the current cursor position in the capture display.

4. Click the Find button in the Find dialog box. This action automatically closes the Find dialog box and takes you from the current cursor position to the first GPIB event in the capture display that matches your search criteria.

To find the next occurrence, click the Find Next button.
