Tektronix Releases New Protocol

Tektronix, a provider of oscilloscope solutions, has introduced a complete CAN FD protocol trigger, decode and search solution for its MDO3000 and MDO4000C series of automotive domain oscilloscopes.

The new Tektronix CAN FD solution gives automotive engineers working with this protocol a powerful debugging and validation tool to quickly and efficiently validate and troubleshoot designs with full visibility into actual bus traffic, the company states.

Software features include:

• Flexible trigger on data packets and arbitration conditions (I.e. SOF, ID, etc.) with ISO and non-ISO support.
• Protocol decoding with color coding of data along with data views.
• Support for both CAN and CAN FD (ISO and non ISO).
• Search support for specific CAN FD data.
• Table listing with time stamps.
• Ability to store and export data.

“For automotive engineers making the move to CAN FD, the combination of our complete testing solution and our mixed domain oscilloscopes, which offer unparalleled integrated functionality and a full suite of accessories, is very compelling," said Chris Witt, general manager, Time Domain Business Unit, Tektronix. “We are committed to giving our customers in the automotive sector the market-leading solutions they need to be successful."
