To stop a trace measurement
• Choose Trace→Stop.
• Using the command line, enter the stop_trace command.
You can, and most likely will, specify traces whose trigger or storage states are
never found. When this happens, the "Emulation trace complete" message is never
shown, and the trace continues to run ("Emulation trace running"). When these
situations occur, you can halt the trace measurement with the stop_trace command.
The stop_trace command is also useful to deactivate signals which are driven
when the trigger is found (refer to the "Making Coordinated Measurements"
chapter).
Examples
To halt a trace measurement:
stop_trace <RETURN>
When the stop_trace command is entered, the message "Emulation trace halted" is
displayed.
