A system and method are provided for displaying input signals from a DUT on a display screen. The method includes sending a data stream of digitized data received from the DUT to an FPGA for serial decoding; receiving decoded symbols from the FPGA; identifying valid symbols among the decoded symbols indicating transitions between the decoded symbols; storing the valid symbols with corresponding time-tags as valid packets in memory, and discarding ones of the decoded symbols occurring between the valid symbols; and plotting on the display screen the valid packets occurring between beginning and ending valid packets of the stored valid packets. The beginning valid packet has a corresponding time-tag occurring immediately before a first point time-tag associated with a left edge of the display screen, and the ending valid packet has a corresponding time-tag occurring at or immediately before a last point time-tag associated with a right edge of the display screen.

Signal analysis arrangements and techniques for electrical signals monitored by oscilloscope devices are discussed herein. In one example, a method includes obtaining one or more digital images that capture an oscilloscope user interface presenting a trace of a signal monitored by the oscilloscope, and processing at least the trace in the one or more digital images to decode a connotation of the signal. Based at least on the connotation, the method includes generating an annotation overlay indicating one or more characteristics of the signal.

A measurement method, comprising acquiring, by a measurement apparatus, a plurality of at least three measurement segments, wherein each measurement segment is acquired at a corresponding measurement time, and wherein time information is gathered, wherein the time information allows to derive ratios of time differences between said measurement times; and playing back the plurality of at least three measurement segments, wherein each measurement segment is played back at a corresponding playback time, and wherein, using said time information, the playback times are chosen such that ratios of time differences between said playback times correspond to ratios of time differences between the corresponding measurement times.

A measuring system has an analog-to-digital converter, an acquisition memory, a processing unit, and a display memory. The processing unit is adapted to decode a digital signal according to a protocol creating a decoded signal and to evaluate the decoded signal at a cursor position. The digital data generated by decoding the decoded signal at the cursor position is stored in the display memory. Further, a method for analyzing an analog signal according to a protocol is shown.

Metal detection process includes calibration operations to determine a plurality of gain settings and a plurality of model parameters, each corresponding to a region through which a moving metal door travels as it traverses a predefined motion path. Thereafter, a corresponding one of the plurality of gain settings is selected, and a corresponding set of the model parameters are selected. The selected gain setting control AFE gain so as to maintain the output of the AFE within a predetermined valid operating range. The model parameters are used to cancel the influence of the moving metal door from output controlled AFE signal.

Method and devices are described for visually detecting anomalies in non-repetitive signals. One device may take the form of an oscilloscope capable of displaying segments of a complete waveform record that includes non-periodic triggering events. The segments may be displayed vertically and horizontally offset from one another to aid in the visual detection of anomalies within the record. Decayed or aged segments of a waveform may also be simultaneously displayed.
