| Format |
Hexadecimal or Binary |
| Trigger Setup |
Trigger on DATA or Parity Error |
| DATA Setup |
Hexadecimal: # Data Bytes = 0 to 12. Data can be defined by nibble. Binary: Any combination of 0,1, or X for 1-96 bits Data pattern can be set to start at any location in the 12 Byte / 96 bit sequence. "Frame" definition permits definition of UART byte packets into a single long message package through a user-defined "Interframe Time" value. In this mode, a 12-bit Data pattern can be defined anywhere in a 2048 UART byte message frame. |
| DATA Condition Setup |
<=, <, =, >, >=, <>, IN RANGE, OUT OF RANGE, or DON'T CARE |
| Bit Rates |
User-defined to any nominal value from 300 b/s to 10 Mb/s |
| Format |
Hexadecimal, Binary, ASCII |
| Decode Setup |
Threshold definition required. Default is to Percent amplitude. Select BitRate, # Data Bits (5 to 16), Parity (NONE, ODD, EVEN), # Stop Bits (1 or 2), Bit Order (MSB or LSB), and Polarity (IDLE HIGH or IDLE LOW) (for RS-232, no Bit Order or Polarity setup). Frame definition permits definition of UART byte packets into a single long (decoded) message package through a user-defined "Interframe Time" value. |
| Decode Input |
Any analog Channel, Memory or Math trace, and any Digital trace. |
| # of Decodes |
Up to 4 buses may be decoded at one time. In addition, zooms can be displayed (with decoded information). |
| Visual Aid |
Color Coding for START Bit, STOP Bit, PARITY Bit, and DATA bytes. Decode information is intelligently annotated based on timebase setting, and overlaid on acquired waveform. |
| Table Configure Export Table |
Display 1 to 20 rows of decoded information for up to 4 different protocols or decodes in time order in a single table. Displayed information includes Index, Timestamp, and other various protocol-specific information. Table permits scrolling, touch to zoom, export to .csv file, and special display of long data or other patterns. |
| Pattern Search |
Search for Previous or Next ERROR or DATA Byte in hexadecimal format. |
