Event table
In addition to seeing decoded packet data on the bus waveform itself, you
can view all captured packets in a tabular view much like you would see in
a software listing. Packets are time stamped and listed consecutively with
columns for each component (Address, Data, etc.). You can save the event
table data in .CSV format.

long acquisition.
Search (serial triggering)
Serial triggering is very useful for isolating the event of interest, but once
you’ve captured it and need to analyze the surrounding data, what do you
do? In the past, users had to manually scroll through the waveform
counting and converting bits and looking for what caused the event. You
can have the oscilloscope automatically search through the acquired data
for user-defined criteria including serial packet content. Each occurrence is
highlighted by a search mark. Rapid navigation between marks is as simple
as pressing the Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.
Digital Voltmeter (DVM) and Frequency
Counter
The MDO3000 contains an integrated 4-digit digital voltmeter (DVM) and 5-
digit frequency counter. Any of the analog inputs can be a source for the
voltmeter, using the same probes that are already attached for general
oscilloscope usage. The easy-to-read display offers you both numeric and
graphical representations of the changing measurement values. The
display also shows minimum, maximum, and average values of the
measurement as well as the range of values measured over the previous
five second interval. The DVM and frequency counter is available on any
MDO3000 and is activated when you register your product.
A DC measurement value is shown with a five second variation along with minimum,
maximum, and average voltage values. The frequency of the waveform is also shown.
