UART/RS232 Triggering and Serial Decode 29

6 In the UART Settings menu, press the Base softkey to select the base (hex, 
binary, or ASCII) in which decoded words are displayed.
• When displaying words in ASCII, the 7-bit ASCII format is 
used. Valid ASCII characters are between 0x00 and 0x7F. 
To display in ASCII you must select at least 7 bits in the 
Bus Configuration. If ASCII is selected and the data 
exceeds 0x7F, the data is displayed in hex.
• When #Bits is set to 9 in the UART Bus Config menu, the 
9th (alert) bit is displayed directly to the left of the ASCII 
value (which is derived from the lower 8 bits).
7 Optional: Press the Framing softkey and select a value. In the 
decode display, the chosen value will be displayed in light 
blue. However, if a parity error occurs the data will be 
displayed in red.
8 If the oscilloscope is stopped, press the [Run/Stop] key to 
acquire and decode data.
You can use the horizontal Zoom window for easier navigation of the acquired data.

If the setup does not produce a stable trigger, the UART/RS232 signals may be slow enough 
that the oscilloscope is auto-triggering. Press the [Trigger] key, then press the Mode softkey 
to set the trigger mode from Auto to Normal.
