LIN Bus analysis added to digital
oscilloscope
An analysis function for the LIN Bus, widely used as an in-vehicle LAN protocol for automotive applications, has been added to the Yokogawa SignalXplorer DL9000 Series of digital oscilloscopes.
The Yokogawa SignalXplorer DL9000 Series of digital oscilloscopes has a large set of serial bus analysis functions, and has now added an analysis function for the LIN Bus As with the existing CAN bus analysis function, the oscilloscope displays the analysis results as waveforms, at high real-time speeds

Two new options - a power-supply analysis function and user-defined math capabilities - have been added to the range of enhancements available for the SignalXplorer DL9000 digital oscilloscopes
Next-generation wideband modulation analyser
The new VN7100 wideband modulation analyser features a maximum analysis bandwidth of 168 MHz, the world's highest for this product class, making it ideally suited to the next generation of LAN systems
Digital power meter for low and high currents
The WT1600S from Yokogawa is a digital power meter providing cost-effective measurements of extremely small currents in energy-saving equipment and high currents in applications involving large loads
A LIN bus trigger comes as standard with the new option, and signal capture can be triggered based on combinations of break (top of frame), CAN, and analogue signals (sequence trigger).
Two busses (such as a combination of the LIN and CAN bus) can be analysed simultaneously.
The package includes an analysis results decode display (for CAN and LIN), and analysis results can be saved to a file in text format.
A data search function allows data searches by combinations of synchronisation or ID/data fields.
When an item in the list of analysis results is selected, the relevant waveform is automatically shown in a 'zoom' window, allowing protocol errors to be quickly compared to the physical-layer waveform and speeding up development and debugging.
The voltage threshold levels for the protocol analysis can be varied to allow scenario or 'what if?' analysis of decoded results.
The Yokogawa SignalXplorer DL9000 Series of oscilloscopes includes models with bandwidths of 500 MHz, 1 GHz and 1.5 GHz, sampling rates of 2.5 and 5 GS/s per channel, and memory depths of 2.5 and 6.25 Mword per channel.
