Giving Demos of Advanced Oscilloscope Features
14.
Notice that Search and Trigger capabilities are very similar.
Triggering is used while running to obtain a stable display and to ensure that the event you are looking for is in the acquisition
when you push the front-panel
Run/Stop
button. Triggering does nothing for you after you have stopped acquiring though. That
is where search comes in.
Search allows you to
fi
nd what you are looking for in a mass of data. To make it easier for you to harness the power of both
Triggering and Searching, the MSO/DPO2000, MSO/DPO3000, and MSO/DPO4000 series link the two so you can quickly copy
your search settings into the trigger engine (usually to acquire new data centered around the event of interest) or copy your
trigger settings into the search engine (typically to see if any other trigger events occurred in the acquisition).
Demo XIV: Monitoring and Decoding RS-232 Signals
All MSO/DPO2000, MSO/DPO3000, and MSO/DPO4000 series oscilloscopes can help you debug RS-232 circuits. They can
decode these serial bus transactions into hexadecimal, binary, and ASCII values.
NOTE.
Install the appropriate DPO2COMP, DPO3COMP, or DPO4COMP application module before running this demo.
