RS232 Trigger
MSO4000/DS4000 can trigger on the start of a frame, error frame, check error or the
specified data bit of the RS232 signal.
RS232 bus is a serial communication mode used for the data transmission between
PCs or between PC and terminal end. The RS232 serial protocol transmits a character
by treating it as a frame of data consisting of 1 bit start bit, 5 to 8 bits data bits, 1 bit
check bit and 1 to 2 bits stop bits. The format is as shown in the figure below.
