Display
You can adjust the display of the parallel bus signals and the individual digital channels
to optimize the analysis of bus data:
show the digital channels which are assigned to the bus, and drag them to the optimal
position
show the decoded bus signal with bus values
alternatively, show the bus values as amplitudes, similar to an analog waveform
(quasi-analog waveform)
Each parallel bus is shown in a separate diagram, and the diagrams can be minimized
and arranged as usual. The signal icon indicates the activities on the digital channels.
See also: chapter 11.2.3, "Adjusting the Display of Digital Channels and Parallel
Buses", on page 325.
The display update rate of the oscilloscope is adapted to the visual perception of human
eyes, and it is slower than the acquisition rate. All analog and digital waveforms that are
acquired during one display update cycle are overlapped and displayed at once. Thus
you can see the cumulative occurance of binary states and edge transitions on the screen
at once. Bus signals are not overlapped. To access and analyze one or more specific
acquisitions, you can use the History Viewer in the common way.
Furthermore, you can zoom in digital signals and bus signal in the same way as in analog
waveforms.

Trigger possibilities
For digital trigger sources are all trigger types useful that require only one trigger level as
trigger condition. This level is the logical threshold. Possible trigger sources are the indi-
vidual digital channels, parallel bus signals, or any logical combination of digital channels.
The following trigger types are available:
