What would concern me more is the displayed signal integrity ? Not so much the scopes ability to portray it but the glitches and the variances in the data idle voltage of ~1/2/div.  :-//

Something's maybe not right with your digital circuit or probing technique.

Jump back out of Decode and see what waveform shapes and amplitude you get then.

The shape of the signals isn't related to decoding. There are probably resistors between the various I2Cs devices to prevent one part of a circuit blowing up the rest of the circuit (safety barrier). Alternatively the value of the pull-up resistors may be too low so some devices may not sink enough current to pull the I2C lines completely low. Either way I've seen similar I2C signals before.

If thresholds are set correctly.
Runts like in the middle of this screenshot will throw a cat amongst the pigeons.

CC555:
Hello tautech, thx for you reply.

I would say those spikes are not important, i2c communication is working properly in my device.

It is a 100 khz clock so I think there is not any signal integrity problem (i didn't measure its rise time), the frequency is too low.

In the end, I am not going to send the oscilloscope back, in the 1000 € range I think is a good choice.

Hello,

any news from GW Instek?

I got a reply saying they are working on it. I have not checked if a new firmware version has been released.
