Field or control Description
XL Bit Rate Sets the data rate for Data Transfer mode.
T
o enter a custom bit rate, select Custom and enter the custom bit rate in the Custom Rate input box.
This control is available when CAN Standard is set to CAN XL or CAN 2.0 + FD (ISO) + XL.
Custom rate Sets the custom bit rate to use to decode the signal. Tap the field and use the Multipurpose knob to
change the value, or double-tap on the field and use the virtual keypad to enter a custom bit rate.
This control is available when Bit Rate, SDI Bit Rate, Nominal Bit Rate, SD Bit Rate, FD Bit Rate,
Nominal Bit Rate, or XL Bit Rate is set to Custom.
Display Format Bus sets the Waveform view to show just the decoded bus information.
Bus and Waveform sets the Waveform view to show both the decoded bus and the source signal
waveforms.
You can also tap on the + symbol on the bus waveform to toggle between showing the bus only or
showing bus and source waveforms.
Decode Format Sets the decode format used to display the bus information. Formats are Hex, Binary, Mixed Hex, and
Symbolic.
Selecting Symbolic lets you navigate to and load a dbc decode label file for the current CAN
waveform. The .dbc file is a proprietary description of a CAN bus system and its message and
signal labels. Loading the .dbc file displays the message and signal information on the decoded CAN
waveform. Selecting a .dbc file immediately loads the .dbc contents into the instrument.
Note: .dbc files are not saved as part of a save session operation.
To remove the .dbc symbolic information from the waveform, select a different Decode Format.
Browse Opens the standard File Open dialog to navigate to and load a .dbc file to apply to the bus being
created. Y
ou can navigate to TekDrive to load .dbc file. The File Open dialog automatically filters for
the .dbc file extension.
Available when Decode Format is set to Symbolic.
Path field Use to enter the path to a .dbc file, or select from a drop-down list of recently accessed .dbc files.
Available when Decode Format is set to Symbolic.
Other bus types
Other serial bus types are available as purchasable options. Once purchased and installed, the new bus types are shown in the Bus
T
ype menu. The serial bus options also add corresponding bus trigger capabilities (when supported) to the Trigger menu. See the Bus
configuration menu on page 127 for links to all serial bus configuration menus.
