CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and CAN-FD Serial Buses

Keysight Technologies, Inc. oscilloscope automotive options help electronic system designers

test and debug the physical layer of automotive serial buses faster. CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and

CAN-FD serial buses are the backbone for communication among many separate controllers,

sensors, actuators, and ECUs located throughout automotive and industrial designs. These

serial bus interfaces provide content rich points for debug and test. However, since these

protocols transfer bits serially, using a traditional oscilloscope has limitations. Manually

converting captured 1s and 0s to protocol requires significant effort, cannot be done in

real-time, and includes potential for human error. Also, traditional oscilloscope triggers are not

sufficient for specifying protocol-level conditions.

Extend your oscilloscope capability with Keysight’s N8803C CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and CAN-FD

protocol triggering and decode application. This software makes it easy to debug and test

designs that include these buses using your Infiniium oscilloscope.

– Set up your oscilloscope to show CAN(FD), LIN, or FlexRay protocol decode in less than

30 seconds

– Get access to a rich set of integrated protocol-level software triggers

– Save time and eliminate errors by viewing packets at the protocol level

– Use time-correlated views to quickly troubleshoot serial protocol problems back to their

timing or signal integrity root cause

– With the CAN-dbc symbolic trigger and decode capability, engineers can now test the

physical layer of this differential bus at a higher abstraction level

30 second CAN(FD), LIN, or FlexRay setup

Configure your oscilloscope to display protocol decode in under

30 seconds. Use Auto Setup to automatically configure sample

rate, memory depth, threshold, trigger levels, and clock recovery

for FlexRay.

Support for both analog and digital channels

Acquire serial buses using any combination of scope or digital

channels. Using digital channels on MSO models preserves

analog channels for viewing other time-correlated signals.
