27 UART/RS232 Triggering and Serial Decode
 
• Rx Stop Bit — Triggers when a stop bit occurs on Rx. The trigger will 
occur on the first stop bit. This is done automatically whether the 
device under test uses 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits. You do not need to 
specify the number of stop bits used by the device Under test.
• Rx Data — Triggers on a data byte that you specify. For use when the 
device under test data words are from 5 to 8 bits in length (no 9th 
(alert) bit).
• Rx 1:Data — For use when the device under test data words are 9 bits 
in length including the alert bit (the 9th bit). Triggers only when the 
9th (alert) bit is 1. The specified data byte applies to the least 
significant 8 bits (excludes the 9th (alert) bit).
• Rx 0:Data — For use when the device under test data words are 9 bits 
in length including the alert bit (the 9th bit). Triggers only when the 
9th (alert) bit is 0. The specified data byte applies to the least 
significant 8 bits (excludes the 9th (alert) bit).
• Rx X:Data — For use when the device under test data words are 9 bits 
in length including the alert bit (the 9th bit). Triggers on a data byte 
that you specify regardless of the value of the 9th (alert) bit. The 
specified data byte applies to the least significant 8 bits (excludes 
the 9th (alert) bit).
• Similar choices are available for Tx.
• Rx or Tx Parity Error — Triggers on a parity error based on the parity 
you have set in the Bus Configuration Menu.
6 If you choose a trigger condition that includes "Data" in its description 
(for example: Rx Data), then press the Data is softkey, and choose an 
equality qualifier. You can choose equal to, not equal to, less than, or 
greater than a specific data value.
7 Use the Data softkey to choose the data value for your trigger 
comparison. This works in conjunction with the Data is softkey.
8 Optional: The Burst softkey lets you trigger on the Nth frame (1- 4096) 
after an idle time you select. All trigger conditions must be met for the 
trigger to occur.
9 If  Burst is selected, an idle time (1 µs to 10 s) can be specified so that 
the oscilloscope will look for a trigger condition only after the idle time 
has past. Press the Idle softkey and rotate the Entry knob to set an idle 
time.
