8.2.11.1 Overview of protocol measurements
If option R&S R
T
O6-K500 is installed, enhanced measurements on the supported
serial buses are possible. With it, you can measure various dependencies between the
frames.
Additional to option R&S RTO6-K500 you need one of the following serial protocol
options:
●
I2C (R&S RTO6-K510)
●
SPI (R&S RTO6-K510)
●
UART/RS232 (R&S RTO6-K510)
●
CAN / CAN-FD (R&S RTO6-K520/R&S RTO6-K520)
●
LIN (R&S RTO6-K520)
●
RFFE (R&S RTO6-K550)
●
SENT (R&S RTO6-K520)
●
Ethernet (100BASE-Tx) (R&S RTO6-K540)
●
100BASE-T1 (R&S RTO6-K560)
Table 8-10: Protocol measurements
Meas. type Description / result
Field value Value of a field over time
Frame to frame The distance between two frames
Trigger to frame The distance between a defined frame and the next trigger signal
Gap Measures a gap, period at which the bus is idle. The distance of a gap can only
be measured between two identified frames.
Main bit rate Bit rate as defined by the standard
2nd bit rate Additional bit rate, protocol dependent
For example: "Data rate"
for the CAN-FD protocol.
Bus idle Calculates the bus idle time
Frame count Number of all frames within the acquisition window
Frame error count Sum of all frames with errors within the acquisition window
