When you add optional software, the 1000 X-Series is a powerful protocol analyzer that can do powerful decode and hardware-based triggering that enables specialized serial communication analysis. Other vendors' oscilloscopes use software post-processing techniques that slow down the waveform and decode update rate, but the 1000 X-Series has faster decoding by using hardware-based technology that enhances scope usability and the probability of capturing infrequent serial communication errors.
I²C: Trigger at a start/stop condition or user-defined frame with address and/or data values. Also trigger on missing acknowledge, restart, EEPROM read and 10-bit write
RS-232/422/485/UART: Trigger on Rx or Tx start bit, stop bit, data content or parity error
SPI: Trigger on SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) data pattern during a specific framing period. Supports positive and negative chip select framing as well as clock idle framing and user-specified number of bits per frame. Supports MOSI and MISO data
