Changing the Trigger settings in the Serial Decode setup also changes them in the Trigger setup.

gIf the decode line does not appear on the display, press the up-arrow softkey to return to the previous menu, then press the Decode softkey.

5If the oscilloscope is stopped, press the Run/Stop key to acquire and decode data.

If the setup does not produce a stable trigger, the LIN signal may be slow enough that the oscilloscope is AutoTriggering. Press the Mode/Coupling key, then press the Mode softkey to set the trigger mode from Auto to Normal.

You can use the Zoom horizontal sweep mode for easier navigation of the decoded data.
