Tektronix TDSVNM CAN,LIN Timing,Protocol Decode Software Reference manual
Getting Started with TDSVNM
You can use this side of the Quick Reference to start taking
measurements with the TDSVNM CAN and LIN Timing
and Protocol Decode software. The other side contains a
complete menu tree for TDSVNM software.
NOTE. For complete operating instructions
and General Safety information, refer to the
online help for the application.
The TDSVNM CAN and LIN Timing and Protocol Decode
software and the ATM-1 Automotive Trigger Module
transform a digital oscilloscope into an analysis tool to
capture and decocde CAN and LIN messages.
4. Select Tests > Configure from the application menu. Set
the Probe Type to Differential and set the Bus 1 (Trigger
Source) parameters.
H Set Source to Ch1, Bus Type to CAN-DW-LH, and
Bit Rate to the bit rate of the selected bus type.
H Set the Bus 2 parameters. Set Source to Ch2, Bus
Type to LIN, and Bit Rate to the bit rate of the selected bus type.
H Set the CAN Node Sensor to None and set Analysis
to Data.
8. Push the Run button to start taking measurements.
When the measurement is completed successfully, the
application automatically displays the results. You can
also view the results by selecting Results > Details from
the application menu bar.
Decoding CAN and LIN Protocols
To decode the CAN and LIN messages, follow these steps:
1. Select File > Run Application > TDSVNM CAN and
LIN Timing and Protocol Decode Software from the
oscilloscope menu bar. (For supported 7000B-series
oscilloscopes, on the oscilloscope menu bar, click
App > TDSVNM CAN and LIN Timing and Protocol
Decode Software).
2. Select Tests > Select from the application menu. Select
CAN & LIN.
3. Connect the probes to the device under test as below.
9. The application displays results for the measurement.
5. Select Tests > Trigger Setup from the application menu.
Set the Trigger-In source and the Sample Point Location
as appriopriate. Set the Trigger Event to Elementary.
6. Click Define to define the trigger settings. Define the
trigger settings and click OK. The ATM-1 Automotive
Trigger Module is required to define the trigger events.

TDSVNM Ordering Information
Supports the TDS5000B, TDS7054, TDS7104, and
TDS7000B series oscilloscopes; refer to the Optional
Applications Software on Windows-Based Oscilloscopes
Installation Manual for a complete list of supported models.
The applications CD includes a PDF file of the installation
manual.
If you order the Option VNM along with a TDS5000B,
TDS7054, TDS7104, or TDS7000B series oscilloscope, the
TDSVNM Timing and Protocol Decode Software will
already be installed and enabled.
To order the ATM-1 Automotive Trigger Module, contact a
Tektronix representative.
