Tektronix MDO3000 Series Demonstration Guide

Exercise 3
Decoding, Triggering and Searching
Serial Buses
Tired of having to visually inspect serial data streams to
determine if each bit is a 1 or a 0? Tired of having to start,
stop, and then manually combine bits into bytes to determine
hex values? The MDO3000 Series can automatically decode
and trigger on packet-level content, such as the start of a
packet, specific addresses, specific data content, and unique
identifiers on popular serial interfaces, such as I
2
C, SPI, CAN,
LIN, FlexRay USB2.0, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, UART,
Audio, MIL-STD-1553. The MDO3000 Series also provides
a Bus Display view of the individual signals that make up the
bus, such as clock, data, and chip enable. This Bus Display
view makes it easy for you to identify where packets begin
and end, and to identify sub-packet components, such as
address, data, identifiers, CRC and so on.
This exercise demonstrates the ability of the MDO3000 Series
to help you debug I
2
C circuits.
Note: Serial Bus Analysis modules are available for purchase.
For demonstration purposes all application modules and
options are enabled in MDO3000 demo units.
Note: You can find more serial bus demonstrations in
MDO3000 built-in demos. Press front panel Utility button.
Press Utility Page lower-bezel button. Select Demo use
Multipurpose a. More serial bus demos are under Serial Bus
group.
