configurable to accommodate the wide variety of
SPI interfaces. This bus is only available on 4
channel models.

SCLK, SS, MOSI, MISO

Threshold

SCLK, SS, MOSI, MISO

Configuration

SCLK edge, SS logic level, Word
size, Bit order

Trigger On

SS Active, MOSI, MISO,
MOSI&MISO

UART Serial Bus Configuration

The UART bus menu is designed to decode RS-232 and other
common RS-232 variants such as RS-422, RS-485. The software
configuration is also flexible enough to decode the many
proprietary protocols based on RS-232.

Background

Basic RS-232 protocol uses single-ended data
transmissions. The signal voltage levels can be
high (±15V)* and employ active low signaling.

High speed variants of RS-232, such as RS-422 and
RS-485 use differential signaling and commonly
employ low voltage differential signals with active
high signaling.

Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter
(UART) or RS-232 driver/receiver ICs commonly
used for embedded applications typically use
active high signaling with standard IC signal
levels.

*Note: the GDS-2000A does not support ±15V
signaling for the Logic Analyzer inputs)
