Abstract: A method and apparatus for capturing an analog waveform on a serial bus. The method comprises the steps of designating a predetermined digital data sequence, decoding a serial data signal carried on a serial data bus, and comparing the decoded serial data signal to the predetermined digital data sequence. When it is determined that a portion of the decoded serial data matches the predetermined digital data sequence, the portion of the serial data signal corresponding to the matching portion of the decoded serial data signal is marked.

Abstract: An oscilloscope apparatus, comprising a display for displaying a plurality of objects, a toolbar displayed on the display, and a user interface for selecting an object. The display displays one or more functions on the toolbar corresponding to the selected object.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a graphical representation of a processing web of an instrument. The method comprises the steps of determining a first processing element of the processing web and placing the first processing element in a particular location based at least in part upon its location in said processing web and various inputs to and outputs from the first processing element. The method further comprises the steps of determining a second processing element of the processing web and placing the second processing element in a particular location based at least in part upon its location in said processing web, various inputs to and outputs from the second processing element, and a relationship between the second processing element and the first processing element. At least one pin of the first processing element is connected to one pin of the second processing element.

Abstract: A display for displaying acquired waveforms from an oscilloscope. An x-axis measurement designating time during an acquisition trace, a y-axis measurement designating one or more acquisition traces, and a z-axis measurement designating an amplitude at at least one point of one or more of the acquisition traces are provided. The z-axis is indicated by a color difference, thereby displaying a surface map.
