PicoScope 7 Automotive
Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, the next evolution of our diagnostic scope software is now available.
Serial decoding
Serial decoding
Questions:
1. Can Pico software sort live decoding on ID rather than time? And freeze the last message until a new one comes for that ID?
2. Can Pico software introduce persistance mode but in reverse logic, such that, in combination with question 1 above, any byte change within a new message for same ID, gets colored for a few seconds?
You know that other companies do that and that is the only reason why serial decoding is needed, besides checking if CAN integrity is ok.

Hi Liviu2004,
I think you need CANalyzer or CANApe for such functions, if you don't mind the swallowing the price of this software..
Cheers,
Ash

Re: Serial decoding
Hi Liviu2004,
Thank you for the questions. With regards to Question 2 I will add this to the new feature requests for sure as it could be useful to some users. We do need to mindful that the scope is not a CAN logger and as such does have some limitations as Steve mentioned in our Q&A session last night. That being said when it's all you've got then as long as you are aware of the limitations then why not?
I believe the to answer question 1 you are looking to use the filter option which is already a feature within the serial decode. This will pick out and only display the ID which matches what you have inputted into the filter field. I've not tried it but I see no reason as to why you wouldn't be able to use this whilst capturing data. Referring back to the main video Steve and Barney did on CAN decoding I have a feeling Steve does use filtering when looking at a specific ID from the shift lever.
If you need any assistance with this feature then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards
Ben

Re: Serial decoding
I can happily report that reverse engineering of canbus, using Pico, works great. Not on the same level as the dedicated tools, but hey, within minutes I found rpm, dash indicators, hazards, steering angle sensor, automatic gearbox lever position.
Filter works ok, coloring would be nice to have, would make life much easier.
