Serial Trigger and Decode (Optional)

Optional WaveSurfer MXs-B capabilities support triggering and decoding of
many serial data protocols. Please refer to the Teledyne LeCroy website for
a list of supported standards.

The serial triggers are integrated into the oscilloscope. All serial triggers
are selected through the normal oscilloscope trigger menus. Serial data
signals are input to the oscilloscope through probes.

Decoding is accessed from the Analysis pull-down menu in the menu bar.
The decoding is overlaid on top of the appropriate channel, and is
intuitively presented and color-coded for quick understanding. Included is a
Search capability for specific messages and a table to display protocol data
in summary form underneath the oscilloscope grid.

Accessing Serial Decode Triggers

Serial triggers can be accessed in two ways:

Touch the Trigger Descriptor Box in the lower right hand corner of the
oscilloscope display.

OR

Touch Trigger → Trigger Setup from the Menu Bar. On the Trigger dialog,
touch Serial on the Type section.

Select the appropriate serial trigger. The menu automatically changes to a
different tab in the Trigger dialog reflecting the selected standard.
