Reloading state analyzer
First Claim
1. A reloading state analyzer comprising:
- an input interface for receiving input state data;
a configuration memory for storing configuration structures comprising compare terms and associated actions;
a comparator for comparing a plurality of current compare terms having associated actions with said input state data and indicating when a matching one of said plurality of current compare terms matches said input state data;
an action executor for executing an associated action corresponding to said matching one of said current compare terms; and
wherein a plurality of new compare terms and associated actions become said current compare terms and associated actions when said action is a reload action.

Abstract
A reloading state analyzer for allowing a tree of trigger event sequences to be tracked is presented. The reloading state analyzer provides an input interface for receiving and conditioning input state data. A configuration memory stores configuration structures containing multiple compare terms and associated actions. A tree of configuration structures may be downloaded to the configuration memory from a user interface. The reloading state analyzer compares a plurality of current compare terms with input state data. When the input state data matches one of the current compare terms, an action associated with the matching compare term is executed. The action may be a state collection control action, such as an arm, disarm, trigger, collect or stop collection action, or it may be a reload action. If the action associated with the matching compare term is a reload action, a new set of compare terms are retrieved from the configuration memory and become the current compare terms. The reloading state analyzer also provides a sophisticated mapping feature which allows collection of only those desired input data states into a state memory.

12. A method for tracking a trigger sequence tree in a reloading state analyzer, said method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) comparing a plurality of current compare terms having associated actions with input state data and indicating when a matching one of said plurality of current compare terms matches said input state data; (b) executing an associated action corresponding to said matching one of said current compare terms; and (c) replacing said current compare terms and associated actions with new compare terms and associated actions when said action is a reload action. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
