Event table

In addition to seeing decoded packet data on the bus waveform itself, you

can view all captured packets in a tabular view much like you would see in

a software listing. Packets are time stamped and listed consecutively with

columns for each component (Address, Data, etc.). You can save the event

table data in .csv format.

Search (serial triggering)

Serial triggering is very useful for isolating the event of interest, but once

you’ve captured it and need to analyze the surrounding data, what do you

do? In the past, users had to manually scroll through the waveform

counting and converting bits and looking for what caused the event. You

can have the oscilloscope automatically search through the acquired data

for user-defined criteria including serial packet content. Each occurrence is

highlighted by a search mark. Rapid navigation between marks is as simple

as pressing the Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.

Power analysis (optional)

Ever increasing consumer demand for longer battery-life devices and for

green solutions that consume less power require power-supply designers to

characterize and minimize switching losses to improve efficiency. In

addition, the supply’s power levels, output purity, and harmonic feedback

into the power line must be characterized to comply with national and

regional power quality standards. Historically, making these and many

other power measurements on an oscilloscope has been a long, manual,

and tedious process. The optional power analysis tools greatly simplify

these tasks, enabling quick and accurate analysis of power quality,

switching loss, harmonics, safe operating area (SOA), modulation, ripple,

and slew rate (di/dt, dv/dt). Completely integrated into the oscilloscope, the

power analysis tools provide automated, repeatable power measurements

with a touch of a button; no external PC or complex software setup is

required.
