SENT SPC decoding for PicoScope oscilloscopes
Summary
The new decoder enhances the automotive testing capabilities of the widely acclaimed PicoScope range of oscilloscopes. SENT (“Single Edge Nibble Transmission”) and the superset SENT SPC (“Short PWM Code”) protocols are widely used in automotive applications. It introduces a new element in the SENT frame definition, called the Master Trigger Pulse (“MTP”). The decoder builds on proven PicoScope 7 capabilities, such as its user-friendly and intuitive interface, allowing automotive professionals to quickly identify and resolve communication issues within electronic control systems. The new decoder is fully compatible with all real-time PicoScopes, from the 2000 through to the high-performance 6000E Series instruments, enabling users to integrate this valuable tool into their existing setups without the need for additional hardware.
