  LEVEL to adjust the trigger level (when the trigger 
source is CH1 to CH4) or threshold level (when the trigger source is D0 to 
D15) (please refer to “
Trigger Level/Threshold Level”). The current 
trigger level/threshold level is displayed at the upper-right side of the 
screen. 
 
2.  Specify the signal rate 
Press Baud and turn the multi-function knob   to select a FlexRay signal rate 
that matches the FlexRay bus signal. You can also press Baud continuously to 
switch the current signal rate. The signal rates available are 2.5 Mb/s, 5 Mb/s 
and 10 Mb/s. 
 
3.  Specify the trigger condition 
Press When, turn the multi-function knob   to select the desired trigger

  Frame: trigger on the frame of FlexRay bus. 
  Symbol: trigger on the CID (Channel Idle Delimiter), CAS (Collision

Pattern) of FlexRay bus. 
  Error: trigger when error occurs to FlexRay bus, including header CRC 
error and frame CRC error. 
  TSS: trigger on the transmission start sequence of FlexRay bus. 
 
Note: As the occurance possibility of specified FlaxRay frame is very low, it is 
recommended to set the oscilloscope to “Normal” trigger mode when the trigger 
condition is set to “Frame” to prevent the instrument from triggering 
automatically while waiting for the specified frame. The same goes for “Error” 
trigger condition. In addition, the trigger holdoff might need to be adjusted to 
view a specified error when multiple FlexRay errors occur at the same time. 
 
4.  Specify the trigger mode 
Press Sweep to select “Auto”, “Normal” or “Single” (please refer to “Trigger
