16-07-2004 CAN bus signal troubleshooting made easy

The Fluke ScopeMeter 123 and 124 are truly integrated test tools, combining the three most frequently used service tools: a dual input oscilloscope with 20 MHz or 40 MHz bandwidth, a true-rms multimeter and a paperless recorder in one affordable, easy to use instrument. The unique 'Connect-and-View' hands-off trigger functionality recognises signal patterns and automatically sets up correct triggering. It provides a stable and repeatable display of virtually any signal. On-screen cursor measurements offer more detailed analysis of scope waveforms.

When communication problems occur on a CAN bus, a powerful diagnostic tool is required. The new Application Note explains how the 120 ScopeMeter, with its dual-input and steady signal display capability, can actually display and zoom in on the 'physical layer' bus signals.

The Application Note Verifying CAN bus signals with a Fluke ScopeMeter 120 Series can be freely downloaded from Fluke's web site www.fluke.co.uk via the Scopemeter 120 Series product pages, or can be obtained by contacting Fluke directly.
