LIN serial bus configuration menu
Use this menu to set up and display a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) serial bus waveform.
T
o set up the LIN serial bus:
• To create a new LIN bus waveform, tap the Math Ref Bus > Add New Bus button on the Settings bar. Open the bus configuration
menu by double clicking on the badge. Set the Bus Type to LIN.
• To change the settings on an existing LIN serial bus waveform, double-tap the LIN Bus waveform badge and make necessary
changes.
LIN serial bus menu fields and controls
Field or control Description
Display Turns On or Off displaying the bus on the W
aveform view.
Label Enter a label for the bus. The default label is the selected bus type.
To enter label text, double-tap the field and enter label using the virtual keyboard, or tap the field and
enter text from an attached keyboard.
Position Sets the vertical position of the bus waveform. The default position is vertically centered in a slice (in
Stacked mode), or center screen in Overlay mode. The unit of position is screen divisions.
Set to 0 Sets the vertical position to 0 divisions (centered vertically in a slice or on the screen.
Results Table Sets the results table as On or Off to see the active measurements, bus decode activity, and search
results in a spreadsheet format. Default is off.
Bus Type Set to LIN.
Source Set the signal source from available analog or digital channels.
Threshold Set the threshold level to define a logic high level.
Polarity Select the polarity to match the LIN bus being acquired.
LIN Standard Select the standard to match the LIN bus being acquired.
Bit rate Sets the bit rate.
To enter a custom bit rate, tap Custom and enter the custom bit rate in the Custom Rate input box.
Include Parity Bits with ID Set to Yes to include parity bits with the ID.
Sample Point Sets the sample point from 5% to 95% of the position within the bit period or the unit interval.
Display Format Sets the waveform view to show just the decoded bus information, or the decoded bus plus the source
signal waveforms.
Decode Format Sets the decode format used to display the bus information. Formats are Hex, Binary, and Mixed.
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.
