Digital data signal analysis by evaluating sampled values in conjuction with signal bit values

摘要

The invention refers to determining time characteristics of a data signal (D1) comprising a sequence of a plurality of bits, comprising providing a first trigger signal (TR1, TR2) in response to a clock signal (CLK) related to the data signal (D1), providing first sample values (A1) from the data signal (D1), in response to the first trigger signal (TR1, TR2), and providing a signal analysis based on the first sample values (A1) in conjunction with bit values (B1, B2, B3) of the data signal in a certain time range with respect to the first trigger signal.
