Overview: The document details the Serial Triggering and Analysis Application Modules for various serial communication protocols, enhancing oscilloscopes with automated triggering, decoding, and searching capabilities for protocols like I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM, USB, and Ethernet.
Key Features:
  • Automated serial triggering, decoding, and search options for multiple protocols.
  • Triggering on critical elements such as address and data.
  • Decoding messages to avoid manual bit counting.
  • Search functionality with user-defined criteria and CSV export options.
  • Event tables for summarizing system activity.
Serial Triggering: Modules allow triggering on specific packet content across interfaces, capturing events of interest quickly, including start of packet, specific addresses, data content, and unique identifiers.
Bus Display and Decoding: Provides a combined view of signals, simplifying packet component identification. The oscilloscope decodes packets and displays values in hex, binary, decimal, or ASCII formats.
Event Table: Displays captured packets in a tabular format with timestamps, offering a clear view of system activity.
Search Functionality: Enables automatic data searching for specific criteria, with results highlighted and navigable via search marks.
Specifications:
  • I2C: Up to 10 Mb/s, with triggering on start, stop, address, and data.
  • SPI: Up to 50 Mb/s, with clock, slave select, and data line configurations.
  • RS-232/UART/RS-422/RS-485: Up to 10 Mb/s, with bit rate, data bits, and parity options.
  • CAN: Up to 1 Mb/s, with frame type and data value triggering.
  • LIN: Up to 1 Mb/s, with bit rate and LIN standard version options.
  • FlexRay: Up to 10 Mb/s, with bit rate and channel type options.
  • I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM: Up to 25 Mb/s, with word size and bit order options.
Conclusion: The modules significantly enhance oscilloscope capabilities in debugging and analyzing serial communication protocols by providing automated tools for triggering, decoding, and searching.
MIL-STD-1553 Characteristics:
  • Supports up to 1 Mb/s for automated decoding.
  • Trigger and search options include sync, command, status, data words, and errors.
  • Display modes include bus only, bus and waveforms, and event table.
USB Characteristics:
  • Compatible with USB 2.0 low-speed, full-speed, and high-speed data rates.
  • Trigger and search options cover sync, reset, suspend, resume, and various packet types.
  • Display modes include bus only, bus and waveforms, and event table.
Ethernet Characteristics:
  • Supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX data rates.
  • Trigger options include MAC addresses, IP and TCP headers, and errors.
  • Display modes include bus only, bus and waveforms, and event table.

Serial Triggering and Analysis Application Modules AERO • AUDIO • AUTO • AUTOMAX • COMP • EMBD • FLEX • USB • ENET Datasheet Key features Automated Serial Triggering, Decode, and Search options for I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, I2S/LJ/ RJ/T DM, USB, and Ethernet. Trigger on all the critical elements of a serial bus such as address, data, etc. Decode all the critical elements of each message. No more counting 1s and 0s! Triggering on a specific transmit data packet going across an RS-232 bus. A complete set of triggers, including triggers for specific serial packet content, ensures you quickly capture your event of interest. Search through long acquisitions using user-defined criteria to find specific messages. Search mark table provides a tabular view of the events found during an automated search. Serial triggering Export Search Mark table data to .csv file. Event table shows decoded serial bus activity in a tabular, timestamped format for quick summary of system activity. Export Event table data to .csv file. Serial triggering and analysis application modules On a serial bus, a single signal often includes address, control, data, and clock information. This can make isolating events of interest difficult. The Serial Application modules for the MDO4000C, MDO3000, and MSO/ DPO2000B Series transform the oscilloscope into a robust tool for debugging serial buses with automatic trigger, decode, and search for I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-STD-1553, I2S/LJ/ RJ/TDM, USB2, and Ethernet. Trigger on packet content such as start of packet, specific addresses, specific data content, unique identifiers, etc. on popular serial interfaces such as I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MILSTD-1553, and I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM, USB2, and Ethernet. Bus display Provides a higher-level, combined view of the individual signals (clock, data, chip enable, etc.) that make up your bus, making it easy to identify where packets begin and end and identifying sub-packet components such as address, data, identifier, CRC, etc.

Datasheet Bus decoding Tired of having to visually inspect the waveform to count clocks, determine if each bit is a 1 or a 0, combine bits into bytes, and determine the hex value? Let the oscilloscope with a Serial Application module do it for you! Once you’ve set up a bus, the oscilloscope will decode each packet on the bus, and display the value in hex, binary, decimal (LIN, MIL-STD-1553, and FlexRay, USB and Ethernet only), signed decimal (I2S/LJ/RJ/TDM only), or ASCII (RS-232/422/485/UART, USB and Ethernet only) in the bus waveform.
