Introducing the New 10BASE-T1S Guided Test: The Future of Automotive Ethernet Diagnostics is Here!
24/09/24
At Pico Technology, we are committed to continuously enhancing your diagnostic capabilities with free software updates to the PicoScope Automotive platform. Our latest update introduces essential support for automotive technicians: the new 10BASE-T1S Guided Test, available to all users of the PicoScope 4000-Series Automotive diagnostic oscilloscopes. This cutting-edge test will help you diagnose and analyze ethernet faults in the next generation of vehicle platforms, ensuring your oscilloscope evolves with the ever-changing landscape of automotive technology.
As vehicle communication networks are transforming to meet the demands of modern and future vehicles, 10BASE-T1S has emerged as the leading solution. Today’s vehicle platforms need to be lighter, to increase range, and deliver higher data throughput to support advanced systems like driver assistance, autonomous features, and Over The Air (OTA) updates. These platforms also require higher-quality data to maintain seamless communication, while supporting Zonal architectures that streamline the number of ECUs and enable the transition to service-based software.
On top of all this, automotive communication systems need to meet stringent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, lower costs, and support the future needs of the industry. The twisted-pair ethernet implementation of 10BASE-T1S delivers on all these fronts, making it the future backbone of in-vehicle communications.
Our new 10BASE-T1S Guided Test empowers technicians to efficiently diagnose ethernet faults. The step-by-step test takes you through the entire process: from connecting to the system and setting up the equipment to capturing and analyzing waveforms. The Guided Test also provides detailed connection diagrams and waveform examples, ensuring you understand how to verify correct communication or identify any faults.
Best of all, this update is available *right now* and like all our software updates, it’s free! Download the latest version of PicoScope 7 Automotive software here, and be ready to tackle the ethernet diagnostics challenges of tomorrow.
