Instead of a specific hardware trigger, the option R&S RTE-K55 uses a predefined
generic serial bus pattern trigger. It simply triggers on a bit pattern in the data stream.
This is fast, but limited in the complexity of the conditions.
The MDIO trigger settings allow you to define the MDIO fields individually. The firm-
ware concatenates the settings to a single search pattern that is then used by the
serial bus pattern.
While this design is simple, it does not allow triggering on a data range or even
inequality. This explains the much simpler structure compared to other protocols.

MDIO requires two source channels, one for clock and one for data.
