New Scope Demoboard from Batronix

<< < (57/65) > >>

Martin72:
Let me come back to the topic...
I've been working with the board again recently due to the new Scope.
It's almost bursting with signal possibilities, you don't even realize it at first glance, only when you read the relevant passages in the manual again and again does it become clear.
This also applies to the topic of decoder signals and this is where my point of criticism comes in, which I noticed earlier.
Maybe we'll get a few new ones through an update, the emphasis is on maybe.
But it already has a lot of decoder signals, but a few are not obvious at first glance and that bothers me.
Take CAN, for example...
For another topic in the forum I just wanted to show a CAN decoding on the SDS800X HD, look at the demo board, see directly only UART, SPI, I²C, otherwise J2 with the parallel outputs D0...D7.
Shit, then I look at my STB-3 demo board from Siglent, Ah, CAN-H, CAN-L, all right, I'll take that.
The Batronix board "naturally" has CAN, even CAN-FD, LIN and Manchester...
RTFM, it is shown on page 44, the signals are on the parallel port J2...
D7: CAN
D6: CAN with occasional bit errors
D5: CAN-FD
D4: CAN-FD with occasional bit errors
D3: LIN
D2: LIN with occasional bit errors
D1: Manchester
D0: Pulse
I would like to see the designations on the circuit board, next to D7/D5/D3/D1.
If it's obvious to the eye, you'll find yourself digging out the manual for more details.
Well, that would be an update that I wouldn't want, because I wouldn't want to buy it again for a print.
But in general and for new buyers it would be nice.




Grandchuck:
The Batronix board can produce a 1kHz sine with about 5 mVp-p noise with switch 2 in position 1 .  In position 0, the added noise is zero. With the scope set for normal acquire one can detect the difference between the two; but only when switching back and forth between 1 and 0 (there is a very slight blurring effect with the noise on ... [screens below]).  The same is true in zoom mode. 

By using acquire ERES 2.0 the noise is easier to see, as shown below.

Ch 2 is filtered so the noise does not show up (until switch 2 is set higher).

The board also will provide a square wave with selectable noise and the noise is a bit easier to see then.

I hope more folks who have the board will try some ideas and post them here.

But when I got to step 3.5, to test the MSO parallel bus interface with my Siglent SDS2000X+, the scope seems to be lacking in capabilities.
If I'm understanding it correctly, the Siglent "decodes" parallel signals in the digital menu instead of the decode menu where it can decode serial signals.

And there is no option to see the decoded ASCII value:

Converting the hex shown here, "42 61 74 72 6f 6e 69 78", to ASCII using any online converter produces the text "Batronix".
So it seems like an incredibly simple operation to do. Am I missing something perhaps?

I'm late to the party on this but here is another vote for adding ASCII decodes to parallel signal decoding in case anyone is reporting the vote count to Siglent in an effort to get Siglent to add this feature, or in case Siglent is listening directly to forum input.  :)  Thx

Where is parallel ASCII transmission still being used? Sounds very Centronics to me. :)

@Elekctro Fan:
Perhaps post with reference to this thread in a thread that siglent is more likely to know.
(I think we did that back then too, I'd have to look.)
