Serial Decode
Decoding in Sequence Mode
Decoders can be applied to Sequence Mode acquisitions. In this case, the index numbers on the result table are
followed by the segment in which the index was found and the number of the sample within that segment:
index
(
segment
-
sample
).
Note: For some protocols, the Serial Trigger does not support Sequence Mode acquisitions, although you
could still decode Sequence Mode acquisitions made using a different trigger type.
Example filtered result table for a sequence mode acquisition.
In the example above, each segment was triggered on the occurrence of ID 0x400, which occurred only once per
segment, so there is only one sample per segment. The Time shown for each index in a Sequence acquisition is
absolute time from the first segment trigger to the beginning of the sample segment.
Otherwise, the results are the same as for other types of acquisitions and can be zoomed, filtered, searched, or used
to navigate. When a Sequence Mode table is filtered, the waveform annotation appears on only those segments and
samples corresponding to the filtered results.
Note: Waveform annotations can only be shown when the Sequence Display Mode is Adjacent. Annotations
are not adjusted when a Sequence Mode summary table is filtered, only the result table data.
Multiple decoders can be run on Sequence Mode acquisitions, but in a summary table, each decoder will have a first
segment, second segment, etc., and there may be any number of samples in each. As in any summary table, the
samples will be interleaved and indexed according to their actual acquisition time. So, you may find (3-2) of one
decoder before (1-1) of another. Filter on the Protocol column to see the sequential results for only one decoder.
