Parallel Decoding
Parallel bus consists of clock line and data line. As shown in the figure below, CLK is
the clock line, while Bit0 and Bit1 are the 0 bit and 1st bit on the data line respectively.
The oscilloscope will sample the channel data on the rising edge, falling edge or the
rising/falling edge of the clock and judge each data point (logic “1” or logic “0”)
according to the preset threshold level.
Figure 8-1 Parallel Decoding
Press Decode1  Decode to select “Parallel” and open the parallel decoding
function menu.
1. Clock Line Setting (CLK)
Press CLKChannel to select any channel (CH1, CH2 or any channel of D0-D15)
as the clock channel. If “None” is selected, no clock channel is set.
Press Slope to set the oscilloscope to sample the channel data on the rising
edge (
), falling edge ( ) or rising/falling edges ( ). If no clock
channel is selected, the instrument will sample when the channel data jumps
during the decoding.
2. Data Line Setting
 Set the bus bits
Press Bus Bits to set the data width of the parallel bus namely the number
of bits per frame. The default is 8 and the maximum is 18 bits (Bit0,
Bit1…Bit17).
 Specify data channel for each bit.
First, press CurrentBit to select the bit that needs to specify channel. The
