This is the cycle count in the frame header, not the instance in time where that cycle begins.

5Press the Frame Type softkey to select the frame type value from:

All Frames

Startup Frames

NULL Frames

Sync Frames

Normal Frames

6Press the Frame ID softkey, and use the Entry knob to select the frame ID value from All or 1 to 2047.

Since specific FlexRay frames may occur infrequently it may be helpful to set the oscilloscope to Normal trigger mode instead of Auto trigger mode. This prevents the oscilloscope from Auto triggering while waiting for a particular frame.
