Manchester and
NRZ Congurable
Protocol Decode
Today’s oscilloscopes provide an array of protocol specic serial data
decoding tools to help verify bus performance and debug system
problems. These tools provide valuable insight into buses using those
protocols but not all systems are built on industry standards and
rely on proprietary encoding or buses not supported by oscilloscope
decode tools.
Key Features
• User denable protocol decoding
of Manchester and NRZ encoded
buses
• Flexible decoding of buses with
bit rates up to 60 Gb/s
• Congurable word and packet
grouping for custom protocol
denition
• Intuitive color-coded decode is
overlaid directly on physical layer
waveform
• Convenient table display with
quick “zoom to message”
capability
• Search feature quickly identies
specic packets and data
Quickly decode serial buses that use Manchester and NRZ encoding schemes with congurable,
user-denable protocol formats.
Flexible, User-Denable
Protocol Decoding
The Congurable Manchester and
NRZ Decode options enable flexible,
user-denable protocol decoding of
serial buses built with these encoding
schemes from 10 b/s to 60 Gb/s.
The physical layer specs like bit rate,
idle state and polarity can be easily
dened enabling quick decoding of
every bit transmitted on the bus.
Higher level decode can be done by
conguring bits to words and then
words to packets.
Congure and Decode
Complex Protocols
Dene the number of sync bits,
header or pre-amble bits, data bits
and footer or CRC bits to build a
custom protocol decoder for a
proprietary bus or decode Manchester
or NRZ based industry standard
buses like PSI5, DALI, LONworks, and
proprietary NRZ protocols.
Support on Multiple
Oscilloscope Platforms
The congurable Manchester and
NRZ decode option is available on a
wide range of oscilloscope models
from 200 MHz to 65 GHz.

Manchester and NRZ encoding schemes both use a variety of methods for making bits into words, words into packets and
packets into protocols. The congurable Manchester and NRZ decode capabilities are designed to provide the flexibility
needed to display decoded protocol information built on these encoding schemes. This flexibility enables quick decoding of
protocols built on industry standards or custom, proprietary protocols.
User-denable protocol controls enable flexible serial bus decoding.
Protocol Decode Setup
1. Decode data packet by grouping bits into words
2. View decoded data in Hex, ASCII or Decimal
3. Set decode bit order as LSB or MSB
4. Select a start point for decoding so that only
transitions of interest are decoded.
Word, Packet, Frame Setup
5. Group up to 32 bits for address, pre-amble or
sub-address information
6. Choose custom number of bits from 0 – 32
for word size
7. Dene CRC or footer information by setting a
specic amount of post-pad bits

Display decoded values in an easy-to-understand table.
Convenient Table
Turn the oscilloscope into a protocol analyzer with
the table display of protocol information. Congure
the table to display information, such as, sync, pre &
post data, and export table data to an Excel le.
Search functionality and user interface provides an easy way to step
through search results to isolate specic areas of interest.
Powerful Search
Quickly search through long captures of decoded
Manchester or NRZ encoded buses for specic details
such as Data, Sync, Interframe Gap or Status.
Intuitive Decode
Color-coded overlays display the protocol decode directly on top of the physical layer waveform for an easy-to-understand
visual display. The decode information condenses or expands depending on the timebase or zoom setting, simplifying both
routine verication and complex troubleshooting.
