RS232 serial bus menu fields and controls.
Field or control
Description
Display
Turns on or off displaying the bus on the Waveform view.
Label
Enter a label for the bus. The default label is the selected bus type.
To enter label text, double-tap the field and enter label using the virtual keyboard, or tap the
field and enter text from an attached keyboard.
Position
Sets the vertical position of the bus waveform. The default position is vertically centered in a
slice (in Stacked mode), or center screen in Overlay mode. The unit of position is screen
divisions.
Set to 0
Sets the vertical position to 0 divisions (centered vertically in a slice or on the screen.
Bus Type
Set to RS232.
Bit Rate
Sets the data bit rate.
To enter a custom bit rate, tap Custom and enter the custom bit rate in the Custom Rate input
box.
Source
Set the signal source from available analog or digital channels.
Threshold
Set the threshold level to define a logic high level.
Polarity
Select the polarity to match the RS232 bus being acquired. Use Normal polarity for
RS-232 signals, and Inverted polarity for RS-422, RS-485, and UART buses.
Data Bits
Set the number of bits that define a data packet for your RS232 bus.
Parity
Set the parity to match the RS232 bus being acquired.
Packet View
Set to On to show decoded packet level information on the bus waveform.
End of packet
select the appropriate end of packet value to match the RS232 bus being acquired.
Available when Packet View = On.
Display Format
Sets the waveform view to show just the decoded bus information, or the decoded bus plus the
source signal waveforms.
Decode Format
Sets the decode format used to display the bus information. Formats are Hex, Binary, and
ASCII.
