Integrate protocol analysis: Optional hardware-
based serial bus protocol decode and trigger
Keysight Technologies, Inc. InfiniiVision X-Series scopes
are the only oscilloscopes that use hardware-based serial
protocol decoding. Other vendors’ oscilloscopes use software
post-processing techniques to decode serial packets ⁄ frames.
Software implementations have slow waveform and decode
capture rates and can miss critical events and errors due to long
dead-times. Faster decoding with hardware-based technology
enhances your probability of capturing infrequent serial
communication errors. Some serial protocol decodes come with a
standard event counter, which is another benefit of the hardware-
based implementation.
After capturing serial bus communication, you can easily
perform a search operation based on specific criteria and then
quickly navigate to bytes/frames of serial data that satisfy
that search criteria. The 6000 X-Series can decode two serial
buses simultaneously using hardware-based decoding, and
display the captured data in a time interleaved lister display.
The 6000 X-Series has eight options supporting 10 different
serial protocols, including I2C, SPI 1, USB 2.0, RS232/UART,
CAN (CAN-dbc), CAN-FD (ISO and non-ISO), LIN, LIN symbolic,
SENT, FlexRay, MIL-STD 1553, ARINC 429, I²S, user-definable
Manchester, user-definable NRZ, and USB PD (see page 26).
