The SpaceWire decode adds a unique set of tools to your Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope that simplifies the design, debug, and maintenance of SpaceWire systems. The high speed SpaceWire data stream is annotated directly on the physical layer waveforms. Various sections of the protocol are color-coded to make it easy to understand the protocol traffic. The decoder provides an interactive table, search, and zoom to make debugging fast and effective.

The Most Intuitive Decode
The SpaceWire decode uses color- coded overlays on various section of the protocol for an easy-to-understand visual display. Decode annotation shows Bits, Character or Packet level decode formats. Depending on the time base or the amount of zoom, the decode information is condensed or expanded to better assist in understanding events during short or long acquisitions

Data Only or Data + Strobe Decoding
Decoding Decoding is possible with just the data signal when the bitrate is stable. This saves channels for other concurrent measurements. For data with a variable bitrate, the decoder can be configured with a strobe line input to facilitate  the decode.

Convenient Table Display
Deep oscilloscope acquisition memory provides long capture times of SpaceWire stream transmissions. Decoded information is conveniently shown in a table format, displayed with either Bit or Character type detail. Touch a decode row of interest in the table to automatically create a zoom to view a specific section of the decoded waveform. In addition, the table data may easily be exported as a .csv file.

Search and Zoom
The powerful search engine allows for specific flag, control, and data content to be easily scanned and searched.  Quickly search through a long record of decoded data by entering any of the available search criteria. The search tools dynamically adjust the zoom to display only the desired portion of the decoded waveform.
