ring on Buses
You can use your oscilloscope to trigger on multiple data buses, if you have the appropriate application module installed. The
MDO3000 Series can trigger on parallel buses without an application module. The oscilloscope can display both the physical
layer (as analog waveforms) and the protocol level information (as digital and symbolic waveforms).
To set up the bus trigger:
1. If you have not already defined your bus
using the front panel B1 or B2 buttons, do
so now. (See page 67, Setting Up a Serial
or Parallel Bus.)
2. Push Trigger Menu.
