UPO7000L-FLEX

UPO7000L-FLEX – Automotive Protocol Decode Option (FlexRay)

🧠 Time-Critical Automotive Bus Analysis for the Most Demanding Systems

The UPO7000L-FLEX software unlock enables full FlexRay protocol decode and trigger capabilities on your UPO7000L Series oscilloscope. FlexRay is a high-speed, deterministic bus used in advanced automotive systems such as drive-by-wire, active suspension, and autonomous driving platforms. With this option, engineers can decode both static and dynamic segments of the FlexRay communication cycle—capturing timing, payload, and error data directly in real time.

Whether you're validating timing alignment across nodes or troubleshooting bus arbitration conflicts, this unlock provides the insights needed to accelerate development and ensure functional safety.

🔍 What You Can Do with FlexRay Decode

🧠 Real-World Use Cases

✅ Autonomous Driving & ADAS

Decode high-integrity messages between sensors, ECUs, and vehicle controllers. Ensure that time-sensitive perception or control messages arrive within their assigned time slots.

✅ Redundant Network Debugging

FlexRay is often used alongside CAN or Ethernet in safety-critical platforms. Use the oscilloscope to compare FlexRay behavior with parallel control buses for cross-domain validation.

✅ Electronic Chassis Control

Capture messages for active suspension, steering angle sensors, and braking logic. Confirm deterministic timing in response to dynamic driving conditions.

✅ Integration & Timing Simulation

Verify how your ECU handles cycle synchronization and frame priority assignments—especially when integrating into multi-node OEM networks.

🔧 Features & Capabilities

• Trigger on frame ID, data value, error frames, or sync pattern

• Decode static and dynamic segments across multiple FlexRay cycles

• Visualize time slot usage and slot boundaries

• View bus activity alongside analog voltage levels or noise

• Support for long memory captures to track low-frequency faults

• Exportable frame logs with filtering and sorting tools

🛠️ Ideal Applications

• FlexRay-based ECU development (braking, steering, torque vectoring)

• ADAS module timing validation

• Safety-critical timing in drive-by-wire systems

• Tier 1 integration and gateway development
