MSO5000HD-FLEX Automotive FlexRay Serial Bus Trigger and Analysis
Overview
The MSO5000HD-FLEX adds FlexRay protocol triggering, decoding, and search to your MSO5000HD Series oscilloscope. FlexRay is a deterministic, fault-tolerant bus for safety-critical chassis control, braking, and drive-by-wire applications.
FlexRay provides dual-channel redundancy and guaranteed time slots for critical messages. This option overlays decoded protocol content on the physical signal for debugging timing and electrical issues simultaneously.
Key Features
- FlexRay Triggering — Trigger on frame ID, cycle count, payload data, indicator bits, null frames, or errors.
- Real-Time Frame Decoding — Decoded frames display with ID, payload, header CRC, and cycle info alongside the analog signal.
- Static/Dynamic Segment Visibility — Identifies static vs. dynamic segment frames for schedule table verification.
- Deep Memory Search — Search acquisitions for specific frame IDs, data patterns, or errors.
- Software License Activation — License key applied through the instrument menu. No hardware changes, no downtime — enter the key and start decoding.
When You Need This
Chassis Control Debug
Verify FlexRay timing in electronic suspension — trigger on static slots and check both protocol timing and signal integrity.
Redundancy Validation
Capture both Channel A and B to verify redundant message consistency and failover.
Compatible Instruments
This option is compatible with all MSO5000HD Series oscilloscopes: MSO5034HD (350 MHz), MSO5054HD (500 MHz), and MSO5104HD (1 GHz).

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy this individually or get a bundle?
If you only need FlexRay, the individual license at $279 is the most economical. The AUTO bundle ($829) adds multiple automotive protocols at a discount. The BND bundle ($1,369) includes every protocol at the deepest discount.
How is this option activated?
You receive a license key after purchase. Enter the key in the instrument's menu under System → Options → Install. The capability is available immediately — no reboot, no hardware modification, no factory service required.
Is the license permanent or subscription-based?
All UNI-T software option licenses are permanent, one-time purchases. Once activated, the option remains available for the life of the instrument. No annual renewals or subscription fees.
