N5402A Automotive Serial Data Analysis Software for Infiniium

8000 Series Oscilloscopes

  • Protocol decode of the CAN and FlexRay serial buses
  • Extensive search capability of CAN and FlexRay frames
  • FlexRay jitter and eye-diagram measurements with automatic mask testing
  • FlexRay mask failure analysis using eye unfolding The event-driven CAN (Controller Area Network) serial bus has become the backbone for communication among many separate controllers, sensors, actuators, and ECUs located throughout automotive and industrial designs. The time-triggered FlexRay serial bus is gaining rapid adoption for more safety-critical and drive-by-wire applications where higher baud rates and a deterministic architecture are required. Software engineers typically use dedicated protocol analyzers for higher-level abstract observation of the data layer information of these

buses – but without seeing the physical/signal layer characteristics. Hardware engineers often use traditional oscilloscopes to view the physical layer characteristics of automotive serial bus signals, but without being able to easily decipher protocol level information. The Agilent Technologies N5402A Automotive Serial Data Analysis software allows engineers to view both the protocol layer information and physical layer signal characteristics inside a single instrument – the Infiniium oscilloscope.
