Oscilloscope gains audio signal triggering and decoding
17 April 2013
Test & Measurement
I²S, LJ, RJ and TDM are serial buses that implement unidirectional point-to-point connections. They carry digital audio data between ICs and are often used to connect analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters to digital signal processors (DSP) for audio processing.
The new –K5 option for the RTO high-performance oscilloscope from Rohde & Schwarz addresses the complex requirements in the development of electrical components equipped with audio interfaces.
An extensive selection of protocol-specific trigger conditions provides the user with a high degree of flexibility when trying to detect specific data contents. The oscilloscope’s hardware-implemented triggers ensure high acquisition rates for fast measurements. Explanatory graphics and links to related settings simplify configuration.
Evaluating the test data is also easy: protocol details in the decoded bus signals are colour-coded and protocol data is summarised. A track function displays the decoded audio signal as an analog waveform. These features allow users to quickly and easily find design problems that cause clipping, glitches and other anomalies.
