CAN Decoding (Option) 
 
The oscilloscope samples the CAN signal at the specified sample position. The 
oscilloscope will also judge each data point (logic "1" or logic "0") according to the 
preset threshold level. You need to specify the CAN signal type and sample position 
for CAN decoding. 
 
In the decode setting menu, press Decode1 → Bus Type, then rotate the 
multifunction knob    to select "CAN". Press down the knob    to select it. You 
can also press Bus Type continuously or enable the touch screen to select it. 
 
1.  Enable or disable the bus 
Press Bus Status continuously to enable or disable the decoding function. 
 
2.  Quickly apply CAN trigger settings to CAN decoding 
Press  Copy  Trig  to  copy  the  CAN  trigger  settings  and  apply  them  to  CAN 
decoding  function  (set  the  corresponding  CAN  decoding  parameters 
automatically).  For  analog  channels,  the  threshold  level  settings  will  also  be 
copied. 
 
3.  Set the source and the threshold 
⚫  Press Sources and rotate the multifunction knob    to select the desired 
source channel, and then press down the knob to select it. You can also 
press Sources continuously or enable the touch screen to select it. The 
available channels include CH1-CH4 and D0-D15. 
⚫  When you select the analog channel (CH1-CH4), press Threshold, then 
rotate the multifunction knob    or use the pop-up numeric keypad to set 
the threshold of the source channel. When you modify the threshold of the 
clock channel, a dotted line displaying the current threshold level is 
displayed on the screen. The dotted line disappears in about 2 s after you 
stop modifying the threshold. 
 
4.  Signal setting 
Press Settings to enter the signal setting menu. 
⚫  Set the signal type 
Press Signal and rotate the multifunction knob    to select a signal type 
that matches the CAN bus signal. Press down the knob to select it. You can 
also press Signal continuously or enable the touch screen to select it. The 
available signal types include CAN_H, CAN_L, Rx, Tx, and Diff. 
➢  CAN_H: indicates the actual CAN_H bus signal. 
➢  CAN_L: indicates the actual CAN_L bus signal.   
➢  Rx: indicates the Receive signal from the CAN bus transceiver. 
➢  Tx: indicates the Transmit signal from the CAN bus transceiver. 
➢  Diff: The CAN differential bus signals connected to an analog source 
channel by using a differential probe. Connect the probe's positive lead
