Agilent Technologies recently introduced FlexRay options for its 6000 series mixed-signal oscilloscopes and 16800 and 16900 logic analyzers. The new options are designed to help automotive engineers develop electronic products faster while meeting quality requirements.
The FlexRay option for the Agilent 6000 series mixed-signal oscilloscopes offers a set of FlexRay frame, slot, and error triggering, including the ability to trigger on specific FlexRay communications qualified on base cycle and cycle repetition. Designers can see a synchronous and time-correlated display of segment and slot-timing boundaries by importing a FIBEX file that defines the global FlexRay schedule directly into the 6000 series oscilloscope.The FlexRay extension to the Agilent 16800 and 16900 series logic analyzers provides FlexRay packet decoding capabilities that are useful for debugging and validating the activity between multiple buses in an automotive system. Analysis includes timing between signals, inverse assembly and packet display for key buses, and time-correlation of protocol packets to CPU and memory bus activity.
