MSO5000HD-CANFD

MSO5000HD-CANFD – CAN FD Protocol Decode Option

🚗 Decode Next-Generation Automotive Networks on the MSO5000HD

The UNI-T MSO5000HD Series oscilloscope is built for engineers working on high-speed embedded and automotive systems. With up to 1 GHz bandwidth, 12-bit vertical resolution, and deep 500 Mpts memory, it offers exceptional visibility into both analog and digital domains. The MSO5000HD-CANFD unlocks full triggering and decode capabilities for CAN FD (Flexible Data-rate)—the evolution of the classic CAN protocol now widely used in modern ECUs, EVs, ADAS, and gateway modules.

While the MSO5000HD includes standard CAN decoding out of the box, this license is required to analyze CAN FD frames, which allow for much higher data throughput and longer payloads (up to 64 bytes).

🔍 Key Capabilities

• Supports both arbitration and data phases of the CAN FD protocol

• Decode extended data payloads up to 64 bytes

• Trigger on identifier fields, data length code (DLC), control bits, or specific data patterns

• Event table view with timestamped frame breakdown

• Analyze errors including stuff bits, CRC faults, or missing ACKs

• Seamless correlation with analog anomalies such as power dips or noise bursts

🧠 Benefits of MSO5000HD-CANFD

• Accelerated Debugging for High-Speed Vehicles
  Decode hundreds of high-throughput messages per second without a standalone CAN FD sniffer.

• Layer 1 + Layer 2 Visibility
  See not only what data was transmitted, but how waveform integrity may have impacted communication success.

• Flexible Triggering Options
  Narrow down waveform captures by frame ID, byte pattern, or field value to quickly isolate errors.

🛠️ Ideal Applications

• CAN FD ECU development and validation

• Automotive gateway and radar/LiDAR module debugging

• Battery management systems (BMS) in EVs

• Reverse engineering of modern automotive communication

• Automotive compliance and diagnostics labs
