Hi Donald,

nice update, great you have access to the demo board, to be able to quickly test these signals. I agree the MDO34 is very strong in bus decoding.

Hi Donald,

Thank you for this great follow on to your recent informative roadtest, the functionality is actually far more than I thought it was capable of especially on the CAN bus where the CRC is also displayed. Back to simple UART I often find when making a project there is that awkward time when you are wondering if the sender is working or the receiver on a serial protocol and never know exactly which end to start tweaking - this Tektronix scope would certainly allow a quick diagnosis.

Nice update. I find the serial decoding features to be very useful. My older Tektronix scope lacks this feature, but my PicoScope has it, and it has made debugging serial interfaces so much easier.

Thanks for digging into this aspect of your scope.
