(2)
Adjust to the proper time base and voltage division.
(3)
In trigger menu, select Bus trigger, and select bus type as RS232, set parameters
based on the characteristics of the signal,
trigger the signal correctly and obtain

knob to adjust the thresholds of bus trigger and bus
decoding.
When decoding, if "Parity" is not set to "None", and the check bit error is
detected, two red error marks will be
displayed in the corresponding position in
the waveform.
