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
