Using Serial Decode
Agilent’s hardware accelerated serial decode options can be
licensed on 4-channel or 4+16-channel 6000 Series oscilloscopes.
Three serial decode licenses are available:
The N5423A (Option LSS) license provides the ability to
decode I2C (Inter-IC) and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
serial busses.
The N5424A (Option AMS) license provides the ability to
decode CAN (Controller Area Network) and LIN (Local
Interconnect Network) serial busses.
The N5432A (Option FRS) license provides the ability to
trigger on and decode FlexRay automotive serial busses. See
page 155 for FlexRay triggering information.
The N5457A (Option 232) license provides the ability to
decode many UART (Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter) protocols including RS232
(Recommended Standard 232).
Adding the Automotive Serial (AMS) serial decode license will
add more CAN and LIN trigger types to the trigger menu. See
page 148 or page 172 for details.
To determine whether these licenses are installed on your
oscilloscope press the Utility key, then press the Options softkey,
the Features softkey, and the Show license information softkey.
To order serial decode licenses, contact your local Agilent
Technologies representative (see
