Decode

The 

Decode 

front panel button is activated when serial trigger and decode software options are installed. Press it to open the serial decode dialogs. 

Decoders apply software algorithms to extract encoded serial data information from physical layer waveforms measured on your oscilloscope. The 
extracted information is displayed over the waveforms, color-coded to provide fast, intuitive understanding of the relationship between protocol and signal. 
Serial triggers fire upon finding complex, user-defined patterns and events in the data stream. Measure/graph and eye diagram options allow you to apply 
special measurements designed for serial data debugging.  

Set up decoder by selecting inputs 
and protocol. Make other required 
settings on the subdialogs.
View decoding on the colored 
waveform overlays.
Touch any cell cell of the result table 
to zoom that single Index of data.
When multiples decoders are 
running, touch the Index cell to 
drop-in the detailed decoding of 
that Index. Touch any cell 

other than

 

Index and Protocol to zoom it.
When there is more data than can fit 
in a cell, touch the white triangle to 
pop-up the full decoding.
Customize the result table or apply 
user-defined filters to search for 
events in the decoded waveform.
