CANbus Trigger, Decode, and Measure

CANbus-TD-TDM-OM-E RevB

For instance, take the example below of an analog signal creating a burst of CAN messages.

This data was acquired over a 500 ms duration. It is likely that you want to understand whether
the analog signal input to your electronic control unit (ECU) is creating the desired CAN message
output from the ECU. There are a number of ways that this could be done.

Using Cursors

Use horizontal cursors to mark locations on the waveform where the time measurement should
be done, then read the cursor values to establish the measurement. As necessary, adjust the
timebase or create zooms of the channels and the CAN Trace to view the signal with enough
detail. This is a good method for single-shot / single measurements.
