Oscilloscope Controls the VPT1000, Synchronous Mode
Monitoring
You can see a synchronous and time-correlated display of
segment and slot timing boundaries by importing a FIBEX
(Field Bus Exchange format) file that defines the global FlexRay
schedule.
PC Controls the VPT1000
For more advanced FlexRay protocol analysis, the VPT1000 can
be controlled by a PC and configured for either synchronous or
asynchronous operation using J8130A Option 200 software.
See the VPT1000 user manual for more information.
This type of system configuration provides higher-level FlexRay
protocol analysis measurements on the PC and time-correlated
FlexRay measurements on the oscilloscope's display.
Connecting the Oscilloscope and the VPT1000
Connect the MSO communication cable (supplied with the
VPT1000) between the VPT1000 and the oscilloscope's digital
channels connector.
If the oscilloscope will control the VPT1000, they must also be
connected via a LAN. This can be accomplished by connecting
both to a switch or hub, or by connecting the VPT1000 LAN
cable directly to the oscilloscope (in a point-to-point
configuration).
Accessing the VPT1000 Menu
1 In the Trigger section on the front panel, press the More key.
2 Press the Trigger softkey, and use the Entry knob to select
FlexRay.
3 Press the Settings softkey to access the FlexRay Trigger Menu.
4 Press the VPT1000 softkey to access the VPT1000 Menu.
