The serial bus technology has been widely applied in the present embedded application design. How to rapidly and correctly trigger and analyze serial bus data has posed a difficult challenge to engineers. The GDS-2202E provides serial bus analysis function and 10M long memory depth to trigger, decode, and analyze frequently used I2C, SPI, UART serial bus and CAN/LIN bus, which is often used by automotive communications.

Waveform Search Function

Users can rapidly search desired waveforms according to the trigger condition. After activating the search function, hollow inverted triangles will show the location met the trigger condition. The upper left hand corner Overall will show the total number of waveforms met the trigger condition. Users can set waveform search by the trigger condition such as Edge, pulse width, Runt, Rise/Fall, and Bus. When the trigger condition is met, hollow inverted triangles will appear. Users can save all marks to compare with the next input signal. The front panel of the GDS-2202E controls waveform zoom-out and play/pause function to swiftly identify each desired event.
