Using PulseView to decode data from a Tektronix oscilloscope of SPI communication to a CAN controller, MCP2515.

2017-07

Using the sigrok command-line ("sigrok-cli") to bulk process data derived from Tektronix oscilloscope data of 250 kbit/s CAN traffic on a real-world system (mobile cranes). The first sample data set is 5335 oscilloscope traces obtained with the trigger set to a negative pulse on CAN-H (to start off at the end of a CAN message) - corresponding to 6.5 recessive bits, 26 µsec (detecting the space in-between CAN messages). Sometimes there is a CAN message right after this, sometimes it is a bit delayed, and sometimes it is completely empty.

A sample command line (on Windows) is:

sigrok-cli -P can:bitrate=250000:can_rx="CAN RX" -P timing:data="CAN RX" -I csv:header=true:samplerate=5000000 -i "T:\stdHMF\UserData\scripts\Tektronix2PulseView\_PulseView_AllChannels_ACQ000001_Tektronix_f5000000.txt"

Interests

I am mostly interested in:

• The CAN protocol decoder (that page is currently empty, but it is listed on the protocol decoders page)
• CAN bus loggers, like IXXAT's (now acquired by HMS) USB-to-CAN compact/USB-to-CAN V2 and Kvaser's Memorator.
• The higher-level CANopen protocol (on top of CAN)
