It is also possible to set the comparators for each IP as follows. It is possible to have multiple probes of different width within a single ILA. To do that you need to uncheck the Same Number of Comparators for All Probe Ports field under General Options.

Tip: If Capture Control is enabled, you have a choice of using 1 to15 comparators. One comparator is used by the capture control data filtering mechanism.
Tip: Depending on the number of comparators chosen, the tool automatically recalculates the number of probes that you can use in the ILA IP. The maximum number of comparators allowed per ILA is 1024.
