M-PHY Decode Right-Hand Dialog

Probing - Selections made from this control manage the corresponding source controls shown for either
for Ddiff (differential clock trace), or Dp (Data positive) and Dn (Data negative) on the main Decode
dialog.

Level - Provide a desired voltage level for your decode. Enter a value using your preferred input control
method. Additional information on using the touch screen controls can be found in the Dialog Area (on
page 196)
.

Viewing - Select to view the protocol data in Binary, Hexadecimal, Symbolic, or Symbolic 10b modes.

Hysteresis - Provide a desired voltage level for your hysteresis. Enter a value using your preferred input
control method. Additional information on using the touch screen controls can be found in the Dialog
Area
(on page 196).

MIPI M-PHY Decode Trace Annotations

Like all trace annotations, M-PHY Decode annotations are rectangular shadings used to highlight messages on
decoded waveforms for easy viewing.

Tip: Data packets (or messages) on properly decoded protocol signals can be viewed using Serial Decode Trace
Annotations
(on page 18), the Protocol Results Table (on page 19), and/or by Searching for Messages (on
page 21)
(Types and Subtypes). Using these tools together provides fast insight to your data. See Serial Decode
Trace Annotations
(on page 18) for more information.

Messages shown as annotations, table columns, and search types for most protocols are classified into Frames,
Errors, Unknown, or Grouped Primitives specific to the protocol. Sub Types then further classify each main
message type into more protocol-specific messages.

Decode an notations unique to M-PHY include the following (some annotations are not shown in the screen-
shot):
