Introduction
About This Manual
Teledyne LeCroy offers different toolsets for decoding and debugging serial data streams. These toolsets
may be purchased as optional software packages, or are provided standard with SDA and DDA model
oscilloscopes.
This manual explains how to use the ENETbusD toolset.
Assumptions
This manual is presented with the assumption that:

You have a basic understanding of the various serial data standard physical and protocol layer
specifications, and know how these standards are used in embedded controllers.

You have a basic understanding of how to use an oscilloscope, and specifically the Teledyne
LeCroy oscilloscope on which the serial trigger and decode option is installed. Only features
directly related to serial data decode are explained in this manual; please see the oscilloscope
online Help file, Operator's Manual, or Getting Started Manual for other instructions.

You have purchased and installed one of optional serial data decoders described in this manual.
Compatibility
Teledyne LeCroy is constantly expanding coverage of serial data standards and updating software. Some
capabilities covered in this documentation may only be available with the latest version of our firmware.
You can download the firmware update from teledynelecroy.com.
While some of the screen images in this manual may not exactly match what is seen on your
oscilloscope display—or show an example taken from your protocol—be assured that the functionality is
nearly identical, as much functionality is shared.
ENETbusD Option Overview
Teledyne LeCroy ENETbusD is a software decode option for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet, low-
speed serial data applications. With this software, you can easily decode 100BASE-T and 10BASE-T
Ethernet signals to examine each frame within a given packet, debugging problems such as
interoperability issues, uncertain error causes, and physical-layer issues.
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX are Ethernet protocol standards used to send and receive data across
computer networks. As more and more devices are making use of the Ethernet protocol to
communicate in embedded systems, debugging the protocol becomes increasingly difficult. Engineers
need fast, reliable tools for debugging these embedded systems communication links. ENETbusD decode
offers color-coded overlay with easy-to-understand details on the data stream’s link layer. In addition,
powerful search capabilities allow you to search the acquired waveform in a myriad of ways.
