Hi Scott,
Measuring 1-wire traffic is done connecting your oscilloscope ground to GND
and measuring DQ. no special probe needed. Normally, quality oscilloscopes
provide enough ground isolation, and Tektronix certainly is.
I use the LA (logic analyser) function of my oscilloscope to verify protocol
sequences. Oscilloscope mode is usefull to measure level, transition
dynamics, attenuations etc...
Reading your post seems indicate that you try to catch logic signals
sequences.
a reset duration is typically 480ns + 480ns =960ns
the rom command is 64 x 60ns = 3600 or even worse for search algorithm (x3)
then the function commands begins...
I quickly checked your osc capabilities, the most critical here is the
buffer deep fo samples: 2500 samples.
You have to setup a trigger on faillong edge as idle is 5v on DQ.
I ususally use a 1 ns sample interval when analysing 1-wire communication.
With this setting you'll able to capture 2500us data which is just too
short.
reducing to 4 or 5ns sample intervall could increase you capture duration to
exploitable results.
As you have 2 channels, you could find usefull to differentiate master to
slave from slave to master:
playing with as comparator around a 100ohm resistor will give you this extra
info.
Also, OWFS may generate unexpected lot communication. Measure with only one
slave, use uncached, and avoid owhttpd.
hope this help.
