How to perform Serial Decode on the MSO5000, DS7000 and MSO8000

Protocol Analysis allows you to quickly decode serial communication. The oscilloscope is capable of triggering on and decoding parallel, RS232, I2C, SPI, LIN, CAN, FlexRay, I2S, and 1553B.For the example below I am decoding an I2C signal but the other protocols follow a similar set up. With my probes connected to the clock line and the data line of the signal I first need to set up the sign...

Using a MASK over the bus with the 1000Z Scope

Using Pass/Fail mask on the DS1000Z is a great way to debug signals. Controlling the mask settings over the bus can be tricky.Here we show an example for Mask Operation.First, get the signal you want on the scope display.Then, send:-> :MASK:ENAB ON// set the mask to pass 0.25 divisions wide and tall around the last signal-> :MASK:X 0.25-> :MASK:Y 0.25-> :MASK:CREATE-> :MASK:DATA?//t...

MSO5000, DS7000, MSO7000, MSO8000 BIN file conversion

The oscilloscope models including the MSO5000, DS7000, MSO7000, and MSO8000 all include the ability to create compact .BIN file types for saving to USB sticks or the internal hard drive.The .BIN files are easy ways to save and archive display and memory data. Creating these files is done from the Storage/Save Wave menu. Here we show the settings used to save 10 MPts of deep memory to a USB stick m...
