SSIC Protocol Decode
Get access to a rich set of integrated protocol-level triggers.
The application includes a suite of configurable protocol-level
trigger conditions specific to SSIC. When serial triggering is
selected, the application uses software-based triggering.
With software-based protocol triggering, the oscilloscope
takes signals acquired using scope channels and reconstructs
protocol frames after each acquisition. It then inspects these
protocol frames against specified protocol-level trigger
conditions and triggers when the condition is met.
Quickly move between physical and SSIC protocol layer information
using the time-correlated tracing marker. Display protocol content
using embedded decode in the waveform area, or see protocol
events in a compact listing format. Minor tick marks indicate
clock transitions. Major tick marks indicate segments of the serial
packet. SSIC measurements are automatically time-correlated with
measurement on other oscilloscope channels.
Compact protocol using the full screen listing
The protocol viewer window shows the index number, time stamp
value identifier, packet type, and data values for each SSIC packet.
Data in the listing window can be saved to a .csv or .txt file for
off-line.
SSIC decode embedded in waveform area
Utilize the oscilloscope waveform area to display
decode information. Minor ticks indicate clock
transitions, and major ticks show segments within
each SSIC packet.
Long time captures using segmented memory
In this example, SSIC traffic was captured for
near 35 seconds. Segmented memory uses
time tags to track time between segment
acquisitions.
Using multiple oscilloscopes?
Server-based licensing allows
users to borrow an application
for a specified period of time.
