4 Triggering the Oscilloscope
To use FlexRay triggering
The N5432A FlexRay triggering and decode option, along with
the DECOMSYS::BUSDOCTOR 2 protocol analyzer and an MSO
communications cable (available from DECOMSYS), allow a
6000 Series mixed-signal oscilloscope to:
• Control the BUSDOCTOR (without a PC).
• Trigger on FlexRay bus frames, times, or errors and correlate
them with other signals in a device under test.
• Display decoded FlexRay bus data.
Eight of the oscilloscope’s 16 digital channels are used for the
BUSDOCTOR connection.
Modes of BUSDOCTOR Control/Operation
The oscilloscope and BUSDOCTOR 2 can be used in one of three
ways:
• Oscilloscope controls BUSDOCTOR, asynchronous mode
monitoring (LAN connection required).
• Oscilloscope controls BUSDOCTOR, synchronous mode
monitoring (LAN connection required).
• PC controls BUSDOCTOR.
When the oscilloscope controls BUSDOCTOR, the system is a
standalone, time-correlated measurement system (no external
PC required).
Oscilloscope Controls BUSDOCTOR, Asynchronous Mode
Monitoring
For asynchronous analysis, you can set the FlexRay channel and
baud rate from the oscilloscope’s BUSDOCTOR Menu.
NOTE
For information on displaying decoded FlexRay bus data, see page 288.
