Serial Decode
Agilent’s hardware accelerated serial decode options can be installed when the
oscilloscope is manufactured, or added later. The following serial decode licenses are
available:
• The N5424A (Option AMS) license provides the ability to decode CAN (Controller Area
Network) and LIN (Local Interconnect Network) serial buses. Requires a 4-channel
oscilloscope.
Adding the Automotive Serial (AMS) serial decode license will add more CAN and LIN
trigger types to the trigger menu. See page 98 or page 128 for details.
• The N5432A (Option FRS) license provides the ability to trigger on and decode FlexRay
automotive serial buses. See page 108 for FlexRay triggering information. Requires a
4-channel MSO oscilloscope.
• The N5423A (Option LSS) license provides the ability to decode I
2
C (Inter-IC) and SPI
(Serial Peripheral Interface) serial buses. Requires a 4-channel oscilloscope.
• The N5468A (Option SND) license provides the ability to decode I
2
S (Inter-IC Sound or
Integrated Interchip Sound) serial buses. Requires a 4-channel oscilloscope.
• The N5457A (Option 232) license provides the ability to decode many UART (Universal
Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) protocols including RS232 (Recommended
Standard 232). Requires a 4-channel oscilloscope.
To determine whether these licenses are installed on your oscilloscope press the [Utility]
