Recording 22483 traces for the purpose of evaluating a proposed fix to the CAN protocol decoder (actually only changing a single number from 16 to 17), stuff bit at the very end of the CRC segment, with a modified trigger scheme: change the position of the trigger point at the end so there is always a CAN message in the trace (for the previous), but still 26 µs recessive. The time division was 100 µs / division (about 225 bit times max) to always record whole CAN messages - at 10 samples per bit time.

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"

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


Task list

Currently not in priority order.

  • Allow import of analog data through CSV files. (Related: fixed bug 1064 - locale issue, decimal point, "," vs. ".".).
  • Add detection of error frames to the CAN protocol decoder
  • Add support for the gigga watt EEVBlog multimeter (Bluetooth, etc.)
  • Add a snap feature to the "cursor" (blue) in PulveView
  • Change number of significant digits for the time display in the "cursor" (blue) in PulveView
  • Submit selected sample traces for CAN decoder change (for CRC segment) validation. With and without stuff bits in various places. With and without timing deviations. (Related: bug 1085, celeron55's fix, if len(self.bits) > self.last_databit + 16if len(self.bits) > self.last_databit + 17 (16 → 17)).
  • Add support for the TDS2000 series in libsigrok, and thus, by extension, use by the new shiny stuff in PulveView.

On wiki

  • Change recommended procedure for submitting sample Sigrok files (traces), on Example dumps.

Non-empty wiki pages

Currently (2017-07-08), 28 of 77 protocol decoders (36%) have non-empty pages here on the wiki:
