Parameter values of an emulation parameter that is indicative of a data processing operation performed by a data processor are exported from the data processor. In response to detection of a condition wherein a first portion of a first parameter value is identical to a corresponding portion of a second parameter value, the second parameter value and only a remainder portion of the first parameter value other than the first portion are output from the data processor.
