Abstract
A method and device for analyzing data, the sequence of which is describable by a state machine, has a configurable filter into which the data is input, an emulation of a part of the state machine implemented as a loadable hardware circuit in which states and conditions related to a current state are loaded, and means for determining a new current state from the states in the emulation resulting from applying the conditions to the filtered data. The configurable filter is reconfigured and the loadable hardware circuit is reloaded based upon the new current state being the current state. The process is continued until the data is processed according to the state machine.
