Parallel Bus configuration menu
Use this menu to set up and display a parallel bus waveform. Parallel bus decoding and triggering is included with the
oscilloscope.
To set up the parallel bus:
■
To create a new parallel bus, tap the Add New Bus button on the Settings bar. Open the bus configuration menu by double
clicking on the badge. Set the Bus Type to Parallel.
■
To change the settings on an existing parallel bus waveform, double-tap the Bus waveform badge to open the configuration
menu, and make necessary changes.
Parallel bus configuration 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 Parallel to define a parallel bus.
Clocked Data Toggles Yes or No to use a clock signal to recover the data bits from the bus inputs.
Clock Source Sets the source for the bus clock signal. The source can be an analog or digital channel.
Only available when Clocked Data is set to Yes.
Polarity Sets the clock signal edge to use for timing reference.
Only available when Clocked Data is set to Yes.
Threshold Sets the threshold value to determine high logic value.
Only available when Clocked Data is set to Yes.
Define Inputs
Opens a Parallel Bus - Define Inputs configuration menu to set the signal sources and the bit
order (MSB to LSB) for the bus. See
Parallel Bus - Define Inputs menu on page 208.
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 and Binary.
