TDSVNM - DPO7000-C, DPO-DSA-MSO70000-B-C- Win XP - Win 7 V3.1.2

TDSVNM CAN and LIN Timing and Protocol Decode Software is a low speed serial bus test software program for CAN and LIN buses that runs on selected Tektronix Windows oscilloscopes. TDSVNM decodes CAN and LIN protocol messages simultaneously, sets trigger conditions for the CAN bus message, captures data for specific conditions of the in-vehicle network, decodes and displays the captured CAN and LIN messages, and analyzes the displayed frames.

TDSVNM uses the optional CAN trigger of the DPO7000 and/or the ATM-1 automotive CAN trigger module from Crescent Heart Software. On oscilloscope models other than the DPO7000 series, ATM-1 automotive CAN trigger module does not support DPO/MSO5000 series scopes. TDSVNM requires the ATM-1 CAN trigger module.

You can purchase the CHS ATM-1 trigger module from Tektronix or Crescent Heart Software. For more information on TDSVNM and the ATM-1 trigger module, visit www.tektronix.com and the CHS website at http://www.c-h-s.com/products.shtml.

3. Known Problems/Issues

- Before performing any test:
i. Ensure that the probes and test fixtures are connected properly.
ii. It is recommended to do the probe calibration first

If you do not follow the above steps, then the results may be invalid

- CAN bus traffic is expected to be around 35 % on real networks. If traffic
increases beyond 85 % then ATM-1 module mayn’t generate trigger out signal

- Trigger Panel: Settings for generating trigger will not be applicable to
reference waveforms. Please ignore them

- If high or low wire of CAN-FT Tx/Rx is shorted to battery or ground,
ATM-1 may NOT generate trigger out signal

- When DLC is zero, setting trigger on DATA == 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00,
will also generate a trigger out signal

- If the trigger condition is set to trigger on Passive Error frame, ATM-1
triggers for active error frame also

- While running CAN protocol decoding with 'filter' applied to data, if
decoding is run once again without clearing the filter then 'apply' button
will get disabled. Re-run the decoding to enable the apply button

- The protocol Listing Window flickers on resizing it to full screen from
half screen state

- ADA 400A differential probes can be used for the Sensor waveform to
measure the micro and milli volts, But for decoding it is limited
up to 100 kbps only

- In logical and advanced trigger conditions user can set ID for in-range
and out-range by combining standard and extended ID values in a single
phrase. Application converts standard ID to extended and triggers based
on evaluation. However, user can use standard and extended IDs in
IF and ELSE conditions

- The Hide button does not bring the instrument application to full screen.
Clicking anywhere in instrument Application will achieve this.
