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.
