Comprehensive and Powerful 10Base-T1S Trigger ("T")
The automatic assignment of note ID to MAC address based on analyzing the PLCA cycle simplifies the setting up of the trigger / decoder function. Capability is provided to permit triggering on Beacon, ID, ID + DATA, Commit/Sync, ESD and CRC-Error.
Conditional DATA Trigger Setup ("T")
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.
Intuitive, Color-coded Decode Overlays ("D")
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.
Interactive Table Summarizes Results ("D")
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.
Measure/Graph Tools for Validation Efficiency ("M")
Quickly validate cause and effect with automated timing measurements to or from an analog signal or another serial message helps to understand PLCA timing issues. 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.
Eye Diagrams ("E")
The ability to filter the decoded data by specific node IDs, along with the eye diagram display, helps identify physical layer and PLCA cycle issues. Use eye parameters to quantify system performance and apply a custom mask to identify anomalies. Mask errors can be displayed and force the oscilloscope to stop mode.
