UART/RS232C Electrical Validation and Protocol Decode Software
UART, RS232 Electrical Validation and Protocol Decode Software offer electrical measurements compliance testing, and protocol decoding as specified in UART specification. PGY-UART Electrical validation and Protocol decode software runs in Tektronix Oscilloscope and provides electrical measurements and protocol decode at the click of a button. This allows engineers quickly check for UART compliance and flexibility to debug the failure. In addition to this engineers can decode the command and response of UART to debug the communication. PGY-UART takes advantage of the digital channels of MSO and provides the decoding of UART data lines.

Features
The product features are as follows:
- Converts time-domain waveform information into data domain, and displays the contents in UART/RS232C message format.
- Simultaneous waveform and decoded data display in a single window allow efficient debugging.
- The ability to link any UART/RS232C frame to the waveform allows efficient analysis of UART/RS232 communication.
- The ability to zoom the waveform for any of the decoded data allows engineers to note analog characteristics of the waveform.
- The detailed view overlays the binary data on the waveform for selected UART/RS232 data
- Flexibility to view the decoded data in hex, binary, decimal, and ASCII format.
- The search function helps in quickly locating the specific data in thousands of decoded UART/RS232 messages.
- Timestamp with reference to trigger position allows engineers to know the timing of data from the trigger position.
- Offline analysis with the Ref waveforms, .wfm (Tektronix oscilloscope’s internal waveform file format), and .csv files
- Capability to save the decoded messages in CSV format.
