3Connect an oscilloscope channel to the SCL (serial clock) line in the circuit under test, then set the SCL clock channel softkey to that channel.

As you press the SCL softkey (or rotate the Entry knob on mixed-signal oscilloscopes), the SCL label for the source

channel is automatically set and the channel you select is shown in the upper-right corner of the display next to “I2C”.

Adjust the trigger level for the selected analog channel by turning the Trigger Level knob. Press the D15 Thru D0 key and select Thresholds to set the threshold level for digital channels. The value of the trigger level or digital threshold is displayed in the upper-right corner of the display.

4Choose 7-bit or 8-bit address size. Use 8-bit address size to include the R/W bit as part of the address value, or choose 7-bit address size to exclude the R/W bit from the address value.

5Connect an oscilloscope channel to the SDA (serial data) line in the circuit under test, then set the SDA data channel softkey to that channel.

As you press the SDA softkey (or rotate the Entry knob on mixed-signal oscilloscopes), the SDA label for the source

channel is automatically set and the channel you select is shown in the upper-right corner of the display next to “I2C”.

Adjust the trigger level for the selected analog channel by turning the Trigger Level knob. Press the D15 Thru D0 key and select Thresholds to set the threshold level for digital channels. The value of the trigger level or digital threshold is displayed in the upper-right corner of the display.
