4Connect an oscilloscope channel to the Rx signal in the circuit under test (the target system), then press the Rx softkey and rotate the Entry knob to select the channel.

As you press the Rx softkey (or rotate the Entry knob on mixed-signal oscilloscopes), the channel you select is shown in the upper-right corner of the display next to “URT”.

5Make sure the trigger or threshold levels are set to the middle of the signal:

•For analog channels, turn the Trigger Level knob.

•For digital channels, press the D15-D0key and the Thresholds softkey to access the threshold level setting

softkeys.

The value of the trigger level or digital threshold is displayed in the upper-right corner of the display.

6Repeat these two steps for the Tx signal.
