A digital bus monitor used to observe data on a bus ( 14, 16, 18 ) connecting multiple integrated circuits ( 10, 12 ) comprises a memory buffer ( 30 ), bypass register ( 34 ), test port ( 38 ) and output control circuits ( 42, 46 ) controlled by an event qualifying module (EQM) ( 32 ). In response to a matching condition the EQM ( 32 ) may perform a variety of tests on incoming data while the integrated circuits ( 10, 12 ) continue to operate at speed. A plurality of digital bus monitors ( 20, 22 ) may be cascaded for observation and test of variable width data buses and variable width signature analysis.
