WaveSurfer 510 is much more than a simple oscilloscope, but is rather a multi-functional instrument. For example, WaveSurfer 510’s protocol analysis capabilities include support for a large range of serial protocols. Once decoded, serial data streams are displayed in a color-coded overlay on top of the physical-layer signal. Users may trigger on protocol-specific information to isolate events. Up to four decodes can be done simultaneously in a combination of any protocols at any speeds. A decode table provides a quick overview of the ongoing decode and may be clicked to zoom to a specific packet.
