• RE: Serial bus decoding not as expected

    I tried it with a little more data (RT response with one data word).&#160;&#160;<br> <br> If I play with the RT max/min, <em>sometimes</em> I get correct decoding on the RT status word only.&#160; &#160;The BC command never gets decoded no matter what the setting.<br> <br> I played with time/div, amplitude, bus thresholds, and trigger position.<br> <br> Screenshot attached, as well as the additional data.&#160;&#160;<br> <br> I'm trying to understand if this is a bug in the decoder, or if the signal is bad in some way.&#160; Because you said it works fine on MSO5, it makes me think it is the former.<br> <br> <br> <br> &#160;

    Thanks Afonso.&#160;<br> <br> I am attaching following:<br> <br> 1) Screenshot of a captured BC-RT command alone.&#160; The command being sent by my BC is 04-1-16-01 (RT address 4, Transmit, Subaddress 16, one data word). In hex that is 0x2601.&#160;&#160;<br> <br> 2) Screen shot of corresponding Event Table, which correctly shows payload 0x2601.<br> <br> 3) Waveform file (ISF) for the one waveform.&#160; I think there is not a way on the scope to save the corresponding bus signal or event list other than the screenshot.&#160; But if there is a way I can try.<br> <br> &#160;
  • Serial bus decoding not as expected

    Hello,&#160;<br> I am using an MDO4054B-6 with firmware 3.22 (latest available I believe), with DPO4BND module which includes serial bus analyzer.&#160;&#160;<br> <br> When I decode a 1553 stream, it identifies the Sync, and the RT Address, however the remainder of the command word or status word is just <strong>11 bits that are not decoded</strong>, grouped, or tagged in any manner, followed by the parity bit.&#160;&#160;<br> <br> In a YouTube tutorial video published by Tektronix, I can see the decoder (using MSO4104B) should also be able to identify <strong>the transmit/receive bit, subaddress, and word count.</strong>&#160;Not sure but maybe it can also identify Mode Code.<br> <br> So I gathered a few screenshots of what I am seeing on my scope, and also some of the YouTube video.&#160; Is there some software update I need to make to get the decoding to be more useful like in the video?&#160;&#160;<br> <br> Thanks
