Acquire the Signal

This example of an Event Table is from an
RS-232 bus.
RS-232 event tables display one line for each
7- or 8-bit byte when Packets are set to Off.
RS-232 event tables display one line for each
packet when Packets are set to On.
Other buses display one word, frame, or
packet per row, depending on the bus type.
