What is the difference between UART and RS232? You can set a threshold for either mode.
I know what you mean about interface versus protocol etc and I have run e.g. Manchester using RS485 chips, but normally RS422/485 is just a differential version of RS232. The data encoding is the same i.e. NRZ, with a start bit, x data bits, 1 stop bit... To decode this in the correct differential way the scope would need a facility for subtracting two channels, otherwise the decoding is just like RS232.
