Event table showing decoded Identifier, DLC, DATA, and CRC for every CAN packet in

a long acquisition.

Event Table

In addition to seeing decoded packet data on the bus waveform itself, you

can view all captured packets in a tabular view much like you would see in

a software listing. Packets are time stamped and listed consecutively with

columns for each component (Address, Data, etc.).

Search

Serial triggering is very useful for isolating the event of interest, but once

you’ve captured it and need to analyze the surrounding data, what do

waveform data.

you do? In the past, users had to manually scroll through the waveform

counting and converting bits and looking for what caused the event. With a

Serial Application module, you can enable the MDO4000, MSO/DPO4000,

MSO/DPO3000, and MSO/DPO2000 Series oscilloscopes to automatically

search through the acquired data for user-defined criteria including serial

packet content. Each occurrence is highlighted by a search mark. Rapid

navigation between marks is as simple as pressing the Previous (←)and

Next (→) buttons on the oscilloscope front panel.
