Processing backlog
In the Saleae software, the data recorded from the device is transformed to the storage format as it is recorded, in near-real time. If the process is unable to keep up with the recording in real time, the processing backlog will grow as unprocessed data are buffered.
-
Trigger backlog
In the Saleae software, when the trigger is used, the processed data are then fed into the trigger in near real-time. If the trigger thread is unable to process the already transformed data in real time, the trigger backlog will grow as processed (but not yet searched) data are buffered.
-
MHz (Megahertz)
Millions of cycles per second. It is a measure of frequency, usually in reference to bandwidth.
-
Protocol Analyzer
A software plugin for the Saleae software that will decode standardized signals into bytes.
