SERIAL BUS DECODING
Most system-level (computer to computer) communication is transferred over
serial data links. Even on today’s circuit boards, much of the chip-to-chip data is
transferred over serial buses.
Determine what you need
Some scopes are able to decode serial buses and display data time-correlated with other
waveforms. Automatic decoding is much less time-consuming and less error-prone than
hand decoding.
Decoded chip-to-chip buses such as I2C and SPI can help provide a more complete view
of your board.
Decoded RS-232/UART or CAN/LIN can provide a view of system-level communications.
In addition to decoding, some scopes provide the ability to trigger and search for serial
data values. These capabilities help speed troubleshooting.
