select from
the list of predefined bit rates.
Alternatively, you can set the bit rate to a
specific value. To do so, select Custom, and
then turn Mu

You can assign the predefined SCLK Input

the signal.
2. Push Include R/W in Address and then
push the desired side button.
This control determines how the oscilloscope
shows the I
2
C addresses in bus decode
traces, cursor readouts, Event Table listings,
and trigger settings.
If you select Yes, the oscilloscope displays 7-bit addresses as eight bits, w here the eighth bit (LSB) i s the R/W bit. It
displays 10-bit addresses as 11 bits where the third bit is the R/W bit.
If you select No, the oscilloscope displays 7-bit addresses as seven bits, and 10-bit addresses as ten bits.
In the physical layer of the I

C protocol, 10 bit I

C addresses are preceded by the five bit code, 11110. The oscilloscope
does not include these five bits in address readouts.
