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!

Hermann
