Serial bus analysis: CAN, LIN, I2C, SPI, and UART (RS-232, RS-422, etc)

The GoLogic™ includes free serial bus analysis tools including...

• CAN - Intel®/Bosch® Controller Area Network™
• LIN - Local Interconnect Network™
• I2C - Philips Semiconductor® Inter-Integrated Circuit™
• SPI - Motorola® Serial Peripheral Interface
• UART type buses - RS-232 , EIA-422/RS-422, RS-423, EIA-485/RS-485, etc.
• Bitstream - Generic serial buses with a clock and data signal.

Up to 32 independent serial buses can be captured and displayed together. In addition, different bus types can be captured and displayed together. For example, you can capture a CAN, LIN, and RS-232 bus in one trace and display them together.

CAN Timing Analysis
The CAN Timing Analysis mode samples the serial bus with the correct resolution for the baud rate you enter and stores the bus signal(s) in raw form...

• Full details on the CAN sampling mode (including a video tutorial) are available Here!

CAN Triggering
The GoLogic cannot trigger on specific CAN bus values. We recommend using the "Immediate" TriggerForm to capture the CAN bus. Since the GoLogic only stores samples when the bus is active, there is plenty of memory depth to capture what you need.

CAN Searching
After the data is downloaded, our powerful CAN SearchForm can be used to locate the data you need to examine...

CAN Display
Once a trace is captured from the CAN bus, the CAN Display Plug-In displays the captured trace data in a condensed format while the WaveForm window displays both the raw CAN signals and the converted bus values...

LIN Timing Analysis
The LIN Timing Analysis mode samples the serial bus with the correct resolution for the baud rate you enter and stores the bus signal(s) in raw form...

• Full details on the LIN sampling mode (including a video tutorial) are available Here!

LIN Triggering
The GoLogic cannot trigger on specific LIN bus values. We recommend using the "Immediate" TriggerForm to capture the LIN bus. Since the GoLogic only stores samples when the bus is active, there is plenty of memory depth to capture what you need.

LIN Display

I2C Timing Analysis
The I2C Timing Analysis samples the I2C bus with the correct resolution for the bus speed you select and stores the raw signals. This allows you to analyze the raw I2C signals in the WaveForm window, but fewer I2C transactions can be captured in a trace.

I2C State Analysis
I2C State Analysis shift the raw signals into formatted 10-bit values inside the GoLogic hardware. Only these processed values are stored to memory and downloaded for viewing. This technique allows a much larger number of I2C transactions to be captured in a single trace. However, the raw I2C signals cannot be viewed in the WaveForm window .

I2C Triggering
Special I2C Triggering is available when I2C Timing or State Analysis is active. You can trigger on an I2C address, data at a specific address, a series of I2C addresses, or a series of data values...

I2C Display
Once a trace is captured from the I2C bus, the I2C Display Plug-In displays the captured trace data in a condensed format while the WaveForm window displays both the raw I2C signals and the converted bus values...

SPI Timing Analysis
The SPI Timing Analysis mode samples the SPI bus with the correct resolution for the bit-rate you enter and stores the raw signals. The serial bits are interpreted by the SPI Interpreter Plug-In for easy viewing. The raw signals are also viewed in the WaveForm window to expose timing errors or glitches...

SPI Triggering
Special SPI Triggering which allows you to trigger on a single SPI data value is available when SPI Timing is active...

RS-232 Timing Analysis
The RS-232 Timing Analysis mode samples the serial bus with the correct resolution for the baud rate you enter and stores the RXD and TXD bus signals in raw form...

RS-232 Triggering
The GoLogic cannot trigger on specific RS-232 data values. We recommend using the "Immediate" TriggerForm to capture the RS-232 bus. Since the GoLogic only stores samples when the bus is active, there is plenty of memory depth to capture what you need.

Bitstream Triggering
The GoLogic cannot trigger on specific bitstream data values. We recommend using the "Immediate" TriggerForm to capture the serial bits bus. Since the GoLogic only stores samples when the bus is active, there is plenty of memory depth to capture what you need.
