FlexRay Trigger
To trigger on FlexRay data, you need:
• A four-channel MSO6000 or MSO7000 Series mixed signal oscilloscope.
• Option FRS (N5432B) FlexRay triggering and decode, which includes:
• Agilent VPT1000 protocol analyzer module.
• MSO communications cable.
Option FRS lets you:
• Control the VPT1000 (without a PC).
• Trigger on FlexRay bus frames, synchronous timing slots/segments, or error
conditions.
• Display decoded FlexRay bus data and synchronous timing.
Modes of VPT1000 Control/Operation
The oscilloscope and VPT1000 can be used in one of three ways:
• Oscilloscope controls the VPT1000, asynchronous mode monitoring (LAN connection
required).
• Oscilloscope controls the VPT1000, synchronous mode monitoring (LAN connection
required).
• PC controls the VPT1000. (Requires appropriate FlexRay protocol analysis software.)
When the oscilloscope controls the VPT1000, the system is a standalone, time-correlated
measurement system (no external PC required).
Oscilloscope Controls the VPT1000, Asynchronous Mode Monitoring
Asynchronous analysis provides decoding of FlexRay frames based on user-selected
channel and baud rate. These can be set in the oscilloscope’s VPT1000 Menu.
NOTE
To display FlexRay serial decode, see page 300.
