FlexRay Decoding (Option) 
 
FlexRay is a differential serial bus configured with three continuous segments 
(packet header, payload and packet end). Its frame format is as shown in Figure 5-7
. 
The oscilloscope samples the FlexRay signal on the specified sample position (if the 
source is an analog channel, the oscilloscope will also judge each data point (logic 
“1” or logic “0”) according to the preset threshold level). You need to specify the 
signal type and signal rate for FlexRay decoding.  
 
Press Decode1  Decode, turn the multi-function knob   to select “FlexRay” 
and press the knob. You can also press Decode continuously to switch to “FlexRay”. 
 
Set the FlexRay decoding (take Decode1 as an example): 
 
1.  Turn on or off the Decode1 
Press BusStatus to turn the Decode1 bus display on or off. You can also press 
Decode1 to switch the current on/off status of the Decode1 display. When the 
bus display is turned on, the interface is as shown in Figure 8-7. 
 
2.  Quickly apply the current FlexRay trigger setting to FlexRay decoding 
If the current trigger type of the trigger system is FlexRay, press CopyTrig to 
copy the current source channel and signal rate in FlexRay trigger and apply 
them to the FlexRay decoding function. When the source channel is an analog 
channel, the threshold level setting will also be copied. 
 
Note: The copy function is only available when the current trigger type is 
“FlexRay”; otherwise, CopyTrig is not available. 
 
 
When the current trigger type is “FlexRay
”, performing the copy operation at any 
time can quickly apply the current FlexRay trigger setting (the specified 
parameters) to FlexRay decoding. Then, you can still set the FlexRay decoding 
parameters according to the introductions below.
