MSO7000X-FLEX Automotive FlexRay Serial Bus Trigger and Analysis Option
Overview
The MSO7000X-FLEX adds FlexRay protocol triggering, decoding, and search to your MSO7000X 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. The option is enabled by a software license keyed to the oscilloscope's serial number and is permanent for the life of the instrument.
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.
- Lifetime License Activation — activate once, owned for the life of the instrument. No subscriptions, no renewals, no maintenance fees.
When You Need This Option
The option fits the following workflows:
- 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.
Compatibility
This option is compatible with all MSO7000X Series oscilloscopes: MSO7104X (1 GHz) and MSO7204X (2 GHz). The same capability is offered on other UNI-T oscilloscope families: MSO2000X, MSO3000HD, MSO3000X, MSO5000HD, MSO8000HD, UPO7000L.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy this individually or get a bundle?
If you only need FlexRay, the individual license covers exactly that protocol. The BND bundle includes every protocol in the series.
How is this option activated?
The option is enabled by a software license keyed to the oscilloscope's serial number. After purchase, the license is registered on the UNI-T website to generate the license file, which is then loaded onto the instrument from a USB drive through the option-install menu. Refer to the oscilloscope's user manual for the step-by-step procedure.
Is the license permanent, or does it require renewal?
The license is permanent — a one-time purchase that stays active for the life of the instrument. No subscriptions, no annual renewals, and no expiration.
