PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

Since each serial protocol is quite different, serial trigger conditions are also different. Detailed
information as to how a serial trigger conditions is set up for a specific protocol is covered in
corresponding protocol-specific sections of this manual.

Users approach Trigger and Decode software options differently. Some use Decode first, and then Trigger.
In fact, LeCroy has a

Link To Trigger

feature used to specifically tie Decoded channels to Triggers.

Currently, the protocol content in this Serial Trigger Decode and ProtoSync manual is covered in Decode,
and then Trigger order. Still, the topics are clearly covered so no matter what order you access Trigger
and Decode software, the functionality you're looking for is never far.

Accessing and Using The PROTObus MAG Supported Protocol Toolset

Certain protocol packages include the PROTObus MAG Serial Debug Toolset which provides capabilities for
making automated timing measurements using a set of provided measurement parameters. For instance, the
time between an analog signal and a corresponding serial data message can be measured with a user-definable
parameter, or an analog data value can be extracted from an embedded digital data signal or stream (digital-to-
analog conversion) and displayed. Other protocol-specific measurements may also be included.

The PROTObus MAG toolset is accessed in the following manner:

1. Once you've accessed the Decode Setup dialog as explained in Accessing The D and TD Supported

Protocol Toolsets (on page 13), touch the Measure button for the desired Decode.

2. The Select operation to apply on decoder output pop-up is shown.
