Hello Doug, this is definitely an interesting topic. I would have one thing that might be an additional topic for postprocessing scope waveforms. For correlation purpose of a real application to my simulation I captured several times in the past a scope shot of a long trace and transferred this to my simulation environment. As I was working mainly in memory busses I had the issues, that there have been read, write and tristate mixed, so it is difficult to work with this trace (e. g. generate an Eye Diagram out of the trace in my Simulation environment). Seperating Read vs. Write was possible by adjusting the testprogramm to run only Writes, or a single Write and than only Reads. But the tristate between burst can not be removed in the application. We had some Matlab Code to remove the tristate out of the captured trace, but it was not really working perfect. It is just difficult to separate a Tristate from a real crossing. I wonder if there is any code / tool out there that is capable of doing this. Thanks for any feedback!
