GPI UART usage request

I see that [Enhancement]: Add UART decoding #153 has been marked as completed.
I would like to decode a 115200,N,8,1 stream on GPI0, but cannot find any documentation on how to configure the decoder.

I am running a JS110 with:
|UI|1.3.2|
|driver|1.9.1|
|JLS|0.13.2|

Hi @lchisholm and welcome to the Joulescope forum!

Yes, we did close issue #153. The serial decoder fetaure is in Joulescope UI 1.3.2, which I see you already have. 1.3.2 will hopefully be generally available next week if testing continues to go well.

We added serial decoder support for the JS220. If you have a JS220, you can configure serial decode first selecting ViewOscilloscope. Click the Device Control widget icon from the sidebar and enable signal 0 and S. Select WidgetsSerial Console and postiion the widget as desired:

You can then click on a message in the Serial Console widget, and the widget will a single marker to the onscreen Waveform widget at the corresponding time.

This serial decoder feature provides very minimal functionality as of April 2025. No configuration options exist at this time. The serial link must be 115200,N,8,1 and must be connect to GPI 0. Performance may also be an issue, especially if the target produces lots of messages within the buffer window duration. Decoding is only supported on live data, no JLS support.

We plan to continue to develop this feature. The serial decoder runs on the host computer, so we could add JS110 support. We will consider JS110 support for inclusion in our May/June UI release.
