Abstract
An apparatus that can be configured for various functions such as a digital oscilloscope, logic analyzer or frequency analyzer is disclosed. The apparatus includes a symbol generator, an FSM, and a controller. The symbol generator generates an ordered sequence of symbols from an analog input signal. The symbols have a number of states that is less than or equal to 16. The controller causes the FSM to search for a pattern in the sequence of symbols that identifies a corresponding pattern in the analog signal. A portion of a digital sequence generated from the analog signal is then displayed based on the location of the pattern in the sequence of symbols.
