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 - RS-232 , EIA-422/RS-422, RS-423, EIA-485/RS-485, etc.
• Generic Bitstream - Any serial bus using a single 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, SPI, and RS-232 bus in one trace and display them together.

CAN Timing
The CAN Timing mode captures the raw signals which are then converted to parallel values in software...

CAN Triggering
The GoLogic cannot trigger on specific CAN bus values. We recommend using the regular TriggerForms to capture all bus activity, then use the powerful search feature to navigate the trace data. 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 Serial Display PlugIn 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
The LIN Timing mode captures the raw signals which are then converted to parallel values in software...

LIN Triggering
The GoLogic cannot trigger on specific LIN bus values. We recommend using the regular TriggerForms to capture all bus activity, then use the powerful search feature to navigate the trace data. Since the GoLogic only stores samples when the bus is active, there is plenty of memory depth to capture what you need.

LIN Display
Once a trace is captured from the LIN bus, the Serial Display PlugIn displays the captured trace data in a condensed format while the WaveForm window displays both the raw LIN signals and the converted bus values...

I2C Timing
The I2C Timing captures the raw signals which are then converted to parallel values in software...

I2C State
I2C State mode processes 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 more bus transactions to be captured in a single trace file. However, the raw signals cannot be viewed in the WaveForm window .

I2C Triggering
Special I2C Triggering is available when I2C Timing or State mode 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 Searching
The I2C SearchForm is identical to the above I2C TriggeForm.

I2C Display

SPI Timing
The SPI Timing mode captures the raw signals which are then converted to parallel form in software...

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