UART/RS232 Totalizer
The UART/RS232 totalizer consists of counters that provide a direct
measure of bus quality and efficiency. The totalizer appears on screen
whenever UART/RS232 Decode is ON in the Serial Decode Menu.
The totalizer is running, counting frames and calculating the percentage of
error frames, even when the oscilloscope is stopped (not acquiring data).
The ERR (error) counter is a count of Rx and Tx frames with parity
errors. The TX FRAMES and RX FRAMES counts include both normal
frames and frames with parity errors. When an overflow condition occurs,
the counter displays OVERFLOW.
The counters can be reset to zero by pressing the Reset UART Counters
softkey in the UART/RS232 Settings Menu.

available decoded data, red dots will appear in the decoded bus to
mark the location of hidden data. Expand the horizontal scale to allow
the data to display.
which includes the 5- 8 data bits and the optional 9th bit.
