4 Triggering the Oscilloscope

N O T E

4Press the Cyc Ct Bas softkey, and use the Entry knob to select the cycle count base value from 0 through the Cyc Ct Rep value minus 1, or All.

5Press the Segment softkey to select the type of segments from:

Static Segments

Dynamic Segments

Symbol Segments

Idle Segments

6When Static or Dynamic Segments are selected:

a Press the Slot # softkey, and use the Entry knob to select the time slot number value from 1 to 2047 or All. The maximum static slot value and the minimum dynamic slot value are limited by the downloaded FIBEX file schedule.

b Press the Slot Type softkey to select the slot type:

All Slots — the oscilloscope triggers on slots regardless of whether they contain a frame.

Empty Slots — the oscilloscope triggers when a slot does not contain a frame. Usually used to determine if an assigned slot is empty when it should have contained a frame.

Since up to 64 cycles can be defined for FlexRay 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 slot in a particular cycle.

Triggering on FlexRay Errors

1In the FlexRay Trigger Menu (see “Accessing the FlexRay Trigger Menu” on page 160), press the Trigger softkey, and use the Entry knob to select Error.

2Press the Errors softkey, and use the Entry knob to select the error type from:

All Errors

Code Error (NRZ) — NRZ decoding errors only.
