The trigger permits a conditional (<. <=, =, >, >=, <>, inside a range, outside a range) setup for the DATA condition. This is especially useful in situations where abnormal events should be monitored, such as when a node broadcasts a low or high engine RPM or coolant pressure.

Many vehicle bus software architectures are very message dense, and data for a single message is spread across multiple data bytes. Our LIN trigger and measurement toolsets permit isolation of specific bit-level data patterns in one or more data bytes, e.g., data location in bits 18-26 in data bytes 2 and 3. This provides significant advantages in isolating the exact information or behavior you need.

A transparent overlay with color-coding for specific portions of each protocol and the entire message frame makes it easy to understand your serial data information. Unlike other solutions, with protocol decode information away from the signal, our solution correlates the waveform and the protocol decode directly on the display. As the acquisition length is expanded or shortened, the decode overlay will adjust to show you just the right amount of information.

Turn the oscilloscope into a protocol analyzer with a tabular display of decoded information. Customize the table to show only the data of interest and touch a message in the table to automatically zoom to it and display it on the screen. Export the table for offline analysis. Up to four different decoded signals of any type may be simultaneously displayed in the table.

The CAN, CAN FD and CAN XL Symbolic options support use of a customer-supplied DBC or ARXML file for signal selection

CAN Symbolic options support use of a customer-supplied DBC or ARXML file for signal selection for triggering and CAN to Value serial data DAC setup. Additionally, the decode annotation is in Symbolic format as well, with complete message and signal structures described.

Quickly validate cause and effect with automated timing measurements to or from an analog signal or another serial message. Make multiple measurements in a single long acquisition to quickly acquire statistics during corner-case testing. Serial (digital) data can be extracted to an analog value and graphed to monitor system performance over time, as if it was probed directly. Complete validation faster and gain better insight.

Rapidly display an eye diagram of your packetized low‑speed serial data without additional setup time, and use eye parameters or standard/custom masks to quantify system performance. Mask hits can be flagged and can automatically force the oscilloscope into Stop mode. By filtering on arbitration ID and other protocol‑table fields, engineers can correlate problematic packets with degraded eye patterns, making it possible to quickly identify the root cause of signal‑integrity issues and link them directly to specific frames or bus conditions.
