22 Agilent InfiniiVision 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Guide
1 What's New
What's New in Version 6.00
New features in version 6.00 of the InfiniiVision 6000 Series oscilloscope
software are:
• The ability to perform measurements and math functions on a
10K- point (maximum) precision analysis data record.
• Support for the new N5469A MIL- STD 1553 triggering and decode
option (Option 553).
• Support for the new N5432C FlexRay triggering and decode option
(Option FLX) which replaces previous FlexRay triggering and serial
decode options.
More detailed descriptions of the new and changed commands appear
below.
New Commands
Changed
Commands
Command Description
:SBUS:M1553:BASE (see page 447) Determines the base to use for the MIL-STD
1553 decode display.
:SBUS:SPI:BITorder (see page 449) Selects the bit order used when displaying data
in the SPI serial decode waveform and in the
Lister.
:SYSTem:PRECision (see page 462) Allows measurements and math functions to
be performed on a precision analysis record (at
the expense of waveform update rate).
:TRIGger:FLEXray:AUTosetup (see page 518) Performs automated oscilloscope setup for
FlexRay triggering and decode.
:TRIGger:FLEXray:BAUDrate (see page 519) Specifies the baud rate of the FlexRay signal.
:TRIGger:FLEXray:CHANnel (see page 520) Specified whether the FlexRay input signal is
for bus type A or B.
:TRIGger:FLEXray:SOURce (see page 527) Specifies the input source channel probing the
FlexRay signal.
:TRIGger:M1553 Commands (see page 578) Commands for triggering on MIL-STD 1553
signals.
Command Differences
:SBUS:MODE (see page 448) You can now select the M1553 serial bus
decode mode.
:TRIGger:FLEXray:ERRor:TYPE (see page 521) Now, only the FCRC, HCRC, or ALL error types
can be selected.
