6 Displaying Data

Interpreting Decoded UART/RS232 Data

•An idle bus is shown in white.

•An active bus is shown in dark blue, with vertical lines designating the start and end of each data word.

•When using 5-8 bit formats, the decoded data is displayed in white (in binary, hex, or ASCII).

•When using the 9 bit format, all data words are displayed in green, including the 9th bit. The 9th bit is displayed on the left.

•When a data word value is selected for framing, it is displayed in light blue. When using 9-bit data words, the 9th bit will also be displayed in light blue.

•The displayed contents of a data word may extend beyond the associated rectangle if the timebase setting is too slow and an idle period follows.

•When the horizontal scale setting does not permit the display of all available decoded data, red dots will appear in the decoded bus to mark the location of hidden data. Expand the horizontal scale to allow the data to display.
