I2C Trigger (Option)
I2C is a 2-wire serial bus used to connect the microcontroller and its peripheral
device. It is a bus standard widely used in the microelectronic communication control
field.
The I2C serial bus consists of SCL and SDA. Its transmission rate is determined by
SCL, and its transmission data is determined by SDA, as shown in the figure below.
MSO8000 triggers on the start condition, restart, stop, missing acknowledgment,
specific device address, or data value. Besides, it can also trigger on the specific
device address and data values at the same time.
