MSO3000X-LIN – LIN Protocol Decode Option

🚦 Decode and Debug Body Control Networks with Confidence

The MSO3000X-LIN unlock enables full triggering and decoding for the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) protocol—used widely in automotive body electronics, climate systems, window controls, seat modules, and lighting systems. With this feature added to your UNI-T MSO3000X Series oscilloscope, you’ll gain deep insight into master-slave communications across low-cost single-wire networks.

Whether you’re testing LIN ECUs, troubleshooting signal timing, or validating wake-up/sleep behaviors, this option gives you the tools to see the protocol clearly and act on it efficiently.

✅ Standard Protocols Always Included

All MSO3000X models include built-in decode for:

RS-232 / UART
I²C
SPI

🧩 LIN decoding requires the MSO3000X-LIN license. It is not included by default.

🔓 What You Unlock with MSO3000X-LIN

Feature	Description & Application Example
Full Message Decode	View frame sync, ID, data, and checksum. 📌 Used in door lock or HVAC control validation.
Trigger by Message ID or Checksum	Isolate specific commands or detect message corruption. 📌 Ideal for startup testing or diagnostics.
Master/Slave Timing Analysis	Verify timing between header and response. 📌 Ensure proper synchronization and sleep modes.
Fault Frame Detection	Catch checksum errors or response timeouts. 📌 Crucial for in-vehicle robustness checks.
Log & Export Events	Save decoded messages for later analysis or test documentation.

🧠 Real-World Use Cases

✅ Body Control Module Validation

Check window lift, sunroof, and lighting messages sent over LIN by the BCM. Trigger on address or data pattern.

✅ Sensor Communication Debug

Capture and verify data from seat position sensors, rain/light sensors, or door switches.

✅ System Startup/Sleep Testing

Decode wake-up pulses and LIN header behavior when vehicles power on or transition to sleep mode.

✅ Classroom Use

Demonstrate the structure and timing of LIN communications in automotive networking coursework.
