Today’s vehicles run not only on electricity or fuel, but on data.
The reliable transfer of data among sensors and ECUs has long been critical
for maintaining safety and reliability. However, the volume of data flowing over
in-vehicle networks is increasing exponentially as designers incorporate cameras,
radar and lidar. Advances in V2X communications and infotainment systems are
also driving unprecedented demand for throughput.
Tektronix is an established leader, helping engineers ensure reliable
communication of mission critical data with instruments and software
for evaluating signal integrity and debugging complex embedded systems.
Today’s vehicles generate vast amounts of data, supporting ADAS, infotainment
and other advanced vehicle systems. Designer are moving away from legacy
standards towards faster IVN standards such as Automotive Ethernet. Careful
debugging and compliance testing are needed to ensure reliability and interoperability
CAN and CAN FD are trusted to reliably deliver data throughout many of today’s
vehicles. Decoding and triggering on these buses provide important insights into
system performance and timing.
The ability to decode the SENT protocol on oscilloscopes enables visualization of critical interactions between sensors and ECUs.
