Column
Description
"Start Time"
Time of frame start in relation to the trigger point
"Length"
Number of words in the frame
"Data"
Values of the data words
"State"
Frame Status:
●
"OK" = frame is valid
●
"DATA" = during acquisition start/end only the frame start / frame end has been
decoded; currently no data available
●
"INS" = the frame is not contained in the acquisition; the acquired part of the
frame is valid.
11.5 UART/RS-232 BUS (Option R&S
RTC-K2)
For UART/RS-232 bus trigger and decoding, you need the R&S
RTC-K2 option.
The UART bus (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) is a general bus sys-
tem and the base for many protocols. One example is the RS-232 protocol. It consists
of a frame with a start bit, 5 to 9 data bits, one parity bit and a stop bit. The stop bit can
assume the single length, or 1.5 or twice the length of a normal bit.
