Event table – In addition to seeing decoded packet data on the bus
waveform itself, you can view all captured packets in a tabular view much
like you would see in a software listing. Packets are time stamped and
listed consecutively with columns for each component (Address, Data,
etc.). You can save the event table data in .csv format.
Event table showing decoded identifier, DLC, DATA, and CRC for every CAN packet in a
long acquisition.
Search (serial triggering) – Serial triggering is very useful for isolating the
event of interest, but once you’ve captured it and need to analyze the
surrounding data, what do you do? In the past, users had to manually scroll
through the waveform counting and converting bits and looking for what
caused the event. You can have the oscilloscope automatically search
through the acquired data for user-defined criteria including serial packet
content. Each occurrence is highlighted by a search mark. Rapid navigation
between marks is as simple as pressing the Previous (←) and Next (→)
buttons on the front panel.
6 – Digital Voltmeter (DVM) and Frequency Counter
The MDO4000C contains an integrated 4-digit digital voltmeter (DVM) and
5- digit frequency counter. Any of the analog inputs can be a source for the
voltmeter, using the same probes that are already attached for general
oscilloscope usage. The easy-to-read display offers you both numeric and
graphical representations of the changing measurement values. The
display also shows minimum, maximum, and average values of the
measurement as well as the range of values measured over the previous
five second interval. The DVM and frequency counter is available on any
MDO4000C and is activated when you register your product.
A DC measurement value is shown with a five second variation along with minimum,
maximum, and average voltage values. The frequency of the waveform is also shown.
