Measuring full duplex unknown protocol.
I've got some equipment and folks want me to look into new control options. It's got to keep running, so I live splice into the control cable and find 6 conductors. Some are clearly power. I was expecting to find 1 pair in full duplex, but could not find anything that looks like a digital signal. Since the gear was working the whole time, it's me that is the problem.
My question is, do I need a proper differential probe to make sense of a duplex signal? I have a 2 channel scope, but only have ground referenced probes.
DC power and logic are my usual thing. So this sawtooth swinging positive and negative has me a little puzzled.
