31 :SBUS<n> Commands
:SBUS<n>:SENT:FORMat
(see page 1610)
Command Syntax
:SBUS<n>:SENT:FORMat <decode>
<decode> ::= {NIBBles | FSIGnal | FSSerial | FESerial | SSERial | ESERia
l}
The :SBUS<n>:SENT:FORMat command specifies the message decode/triggering
format:
• NIBBles — displays the raw transmitted nibble values.
• FSIGnal — displays Fast Channel Message Signals.
• FSSerial — displays both Fast and Slow Messages (Short format)
simultaneously.
• FESerial — displays both Fast and Slow Messages (Enhanced format)
simultaneously.
• SSERial — displays Slow Channel Messages in Short format.
• ESERial — displays Slow Channel Messages in Enhanced format.
This selection affects both decoding and triggering. The decode is affected both in
how the system interprets the data, and what will be displayed. The trigger is
affected in that the trigger hardware needs to be configured to trigger on serial
messages correctly.
You can specify the nibble display order for Fast Channel Message Signals (see
:SBUS<n>:SENT:SIGNal<s>:ORDer). Raw transmitted nibble values are displayed
in the order received.
Note that for the Slow Channel, the proper format, Short or Enhanced, must be
chosen for proper decoding and triggering to occur.
Slow Channel Serial Messages are always displayed as defined by the SENT
specification.

format setting.
Return Format
