Trigger Bus: CAN / CAN-FD
 
The logic analyzer triggers when the packet matches the TriggerForm values.
 
The CAN / CAN-FD TriggerForm does not allow the "anything" placeholder "x" digit to appear in any fields. Since stuff-bits are inserted into the bit-stream, any "x" digits creates an undefined stuff-bit count. Therefore, all trigger fields must contain determinate values.
 
 
Trigger on stuff-bit errors.
 
When checked, the logic analyzer triggers on incorrect stuff-bits inserted into the bit-stream.
 
When unchecked, the logic analyzer ignores incorrect stuff-bits.
 
DO NOT check this option unless all header, RTR, DLC, and data bytes are  entered correctly.
 
Type
 
Select the header field size: "11 bit" or 11+18 bit".
 
ID Qualifier
 
Select the "=" or "!=" qualifier for the ID fields.
 
ID11 Value
 
Enter the 11-bit ID field.
 
ID18 Value
 
Enter the 11-bit ID field.
 
ID Base
 
Click the "Hex" or "Binary" button to choose the numeric base for the ID edit boxes. This option is cosmetic and has no affect on the trigger behavior.
 
RTR
 
Define the "Remote Transmission Request" (packet direction flag).
 
DLC
 
Select the Data Length Code field (packet byte count).
 
The DLC selection determines now many data values appear in the packet.
 
However, fewer data bytes may actually be active in the final trigger.
 
The logic analyzer can trigger on up to 64 raw CAN / CAN-FD serial bits.
 
This limit includes start-bit, header bits, data bits, and stuff-bits.
 
The stuff bit count changes depending on the content of the header and data fields. Therefore, the total bits allows in the CAN trigger setup varies.
 
In the above screen capture example, only two data bytes are allowed in the trigger. The "cutoff" indicates the 64-bit limit is reached on the second data byte. The disabled 3rd and 4th data bytes are not included in the final trigger.
 
These limits only affect the hardware trigger feature. Complete packets are always captured in the trace data and displayed in the WaveForm and Serial Bus Text views.
 
The Appendices define each model's trigger limits.
 
Data Qualifiers
 
Select the "=" or "!=" qualifier for each data byte in the series.
 
Data
 
Enter each data value in the packet.
 
Base
 
Click the "Hex" or "Binary" button to choose the numeric base for the data edit boxes. This option is cosmetic and has no affect on the trigger behavior.
