Abstract: The present disclosure provides a measurement application device comprising at least one signal acquisition interface configured to acquire an analog input signal and output a digital input signal, a first decimator for each signal acquisition interface, each one of the first decimators being configured to reduce the number of samples of the respective digital input signal and output a first decimated digital input signal, at least one second decimator for each signal acquisition interface, each one of the second decimators being configured to reduce the number of samples of the respective digital input signal and output a second decimated digital input signal, and at least one decoder for each one of the second decimators, each one of the decoders being configured to decode the respective second decimated digital input signal according to a respective protocol and provide a respective decoded input signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an instrument for analyzing an input signal. The instrument comprises an input for receiving an input signal, a processing circuit or module for analyzing the input signal received, a display, such as a display module, for displaying information concerning the input signal analyzed, and a user input module for receiving instructions from a user. The instrument provides several functionalities, the several functionalities each being associated with at least one respective complexity. The instrument is set by the instructions of the user via the user input to analyze the input signal. The processing module evaluates a complexity of the instructions of the user.

Abstract: A method for assigning an input channel of a signal analyzer to a signal decoder has the steps of analyzing a digital representation of a signal received by an input channel and generating a characteristic signal parameter of the signal. The parameter is compared to expected values and the corresponding input channel is assigned to the signal decoder according to the result of the comparison. Further, a signal analyzer for measuring a bus signal is shown.
