Handling Error (DRF, or Data Related Flag) Events

The interpretation of error events depends on the type of communication line that the capture came from in the same way that signal change events do. Error events are encoded in a single byte. As of this printing, the encodings are:

ComProbe Driver

UART Overrun

0x01

Parity

0x02

Framing

0x04

CRC

0x08

Underrun

0x10

Asynchronous Serial Driver

UART Overrun

0x01

Parity

0x02

Framing

0x04

RS232 ComProbe II Driver

UART Overrun

0x01

Parity

0x02

Framing

0x04

Data Lost

0x08

As with signal changes, the only way to be sure that the encoding hasn't changed is to start the protocol analyzer, open the Set I/O Configuration window and click the Names button. The errors will be listed in this window in order, where the top item is the low bit.
