Forgive my ignorance, I am probing the output of the COB IC of my "Kaiweets" HT118A DMM, hoping to find RS232 being pumped out, and I came across this waveform (pin # impossible to know, since it's COB)... does anyone recognise this?
{Update}: I've attached a zipped pulseview session too.
Thanks!
Gosh, no one?
Looked yesterday and all I could see was several clock bursts.

Thanks for looking
- I have captured more in "PulseView" and applied the "UART" filter - how does one know how accurate said filter is, though? Is there some form of file format I could share here, to make the full capture more accessible to people who could ID the pulses?
Cheers!
Is this any more meaningful?:
This doesn't look like UART at all. Should be a clock line of some synchronous bus transferring 8-bit values (8 shorter pulses separated by a longer one). Are there any other signals belonging to the same bus? (i.e. other pins of the same connectors or PCB pads grouped together with this one). Look for a data signal clocked by this line (some less regular signal with a frequency <=1/2 of this clock, with all transitions during the same clock levels).

I'll look, thanks. But if it's not UART, why does the UART filter seem to (sort of) decode it?

It might be just be the clock line of an SPI bus whilst transmitting a multi-byte message.
