Press the
[Label]
front panel key (between channel- 1 and channel- 2
controls) to turn on the scope’s default labels.
You should now see RS232/UART decoding of these signals on your scope’s
display similar to
, but we still haven’t established stable
triggering. The scope is still triggering on any rising edge of channel- 1
(default trigger condition). Let’s now set up the scope to trigger when the
transmit data signal (TX) is equal to 4D
HEX
.
