custom digital protocol for digital discovery

[e0ne199]

hello everyone,

i see that waveforms already supports UART, SPI, I2C, CAN and AVR for its digital protocol, but i want to make a custom digital protocol that is suitable for my needs...anyone here knows how to do that in waveforms?

Hi @e0ne199

You could use the Pattern generator with custom signals and the Script tool or the SDK for custom application/script.

is there any downside if i try to use pattern generator instead of built-in digital protocol?

Hi @e0ne199

I don't know what protocol do you want to implement.
The Protocol tool uses the Pattern generator and Logic analyzer device resources, the digital-out/in API. The library and application are written in C.
The java/python/.net solution may have lower performance.
