13.1.2 Autoset for protocols
If you want to perform a quick protocol measurement, you can use the "Autoset" func-
tion. It allows you to find the correct instrument settings for the desired protocol. It dis-
plays at least one decoded frame after the execution.

2. Select the bus you want to configure.
3. Select the "Setup" tab.
4. Tap the "Protocol" you want to configure.
5. Assign the sources for the input channels.
6. Press the "Autoset" button.
"Autoset" performs the following steps:
●
Executes "Autoset" for the horizontal and vertical scale.
●
Adjusts the horizontal scale to display at least one frame or packet .
●
Executes "Find thresholds" to determine the thresholds.
●
If necessary, performs bit rate estimation.
●
Sets default protocol trigger (frame start) .
●
Turns on the protocol decoder.
Remote command:
BUS<m>:FAUToset on page 1549
