What are the limitations of using the External Counter located on the Emulator in profiling applications?
The external counter contained inside most emulators can be used to count “roll-overs” of an internal counter by counting EMU pin signals that are strobed whenever the internal counter rolls over. This external counter effectively gives the internal counter an additional 16-bits (on XDS510 based emulators) or 32-bits (on XDS560 based emulators) of resolution. The limitations of the use of this counter in this manner depend on the Emulator being used.
