Serial Bus Decoding & Triggering, Search & Navigation, and Segmented Acquisition Labs
Lab #12: Decoding, Triggering, and Searching on RS232/UART Serial Bus
Signals
In this lab you will learn how to set up the scope to decode and trigger on
transmit and receive RS232/UART serial bus traffic. In addition, you will
learn how to use the scope's automatic RS232/UART Search & Navigation
capability, as well as Segmented Memory acquisition. This lab does not
provide a tutorial on the RS232/UART protocols and signaling. To complete
this lab, your scope must be licensed with the RS232/UART trigger and
decode option (Option COMP). You can verify the installed options on your
oscilloscope at [Help] > About Oscilloscope.
