DP AUX (DisplayPort Auxiliary channel)

The DP AUX Channel is to detect the link, configuration, and status of the Display Port source. The Display Port is the digital display interface that is specified in the VESA standard.

Acute Technology provides logic analyzers with DP AUX decoding capabilities, including detailed DPCD bit analysis, significantly reducing debugging time.

The TravelBus series supports direct measurement of differential signals, such as DP AUX, while other series require a DP AUX adaptor to convert differential signals into single-ended signals.
