Lesson 1 - Introduction - Debugging Automotive & Electronic Signals using Oscilloscopes

Introduces the course and discusses the basics of debugging automotive serial communication buses using an oscilloscope. Topics covered include probing the differential CAN/CAN FD bus, CAN standard and extended format, CAN decoding and triggering, and a demo.

Lesson 2 - Probing Differential CAN-CAN FD Bus

The different ways to probe a differential CAN/CAN FD bus, including using a differential probe, a single-ended probe, and a high-speed probe. The lesson also covers the importance of proper grounding and shielding when probing a CAN bus.

Lesson 3 - CAN Standard and Extended Format

The two different formats used by CAN buses: standard format and extended format. The lesson covers the differences between the two formats, as well as the specific bit patterns used for each.

Lesson 4 - CAN Decoding and Triggering

How to decode CAN signals using an oscilloscope. The lesson covers the different types of decoding that can be performed, as well as how to trigger on specific CAN messages.

Lesson 5 - Demo Time! Decoding the CAN Bus with Hardware-based Decoding and Symbolic Decoding

Demonstrates how to decode CAN signals using two different methods: hardware-based decoding and symbolic decoding. The lesson also covers the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

Lesson 6 - CAN Bit Timing and Arbitration

The bit timing and arbitration mechanisms used by CAN buses. The lesson covers the different factors that affect bit timing, as well as how arbitration is used to resolve conflicts between nodes on the bus.

Lesson 7 - Demo Time! CAN Bus Arbitration

How CAN bus arbitration works. The lesson shows how nodes compete for access to the bus and how the arbitration winner is determined.

Lesson 8 - Eye-diagram Testing

Eye-diagram testing, a technique used to measure the quality of a CAN signal. The lesson covers the different parameters that can be measured from an eye diagram, as well as how to interpret the results of eye-diagram testing.

Lesson 9 - Demo Time! CAN Eye-diagram Testing

Provides a demo of how to use eye diagrams to test the quality of CAN signals. An eye diagram is a graphical representation of the signal's edges, and it can be used to identify problems such as jitter, noise, and attenuation.

Lesson 10 - CAN FD

Discusses the CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) protocol, which is an extension of the standard CAN protocol. CAN FD can transmit data at much faster speeds than standard CAN, making it ideal for use in applications such as autonomous driving and vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

Lesson 11 - Demo time! CAN FD, LIN, SENT, and more

Provides a demo of how to use an oscilloscope to debug automotive electronic signals using CAN FD, LIN, SENT, and more.

Lesson 12 - Conclusion - Debugging Automotive & Electronic Signals using Oscilloscopes

Concludes the course on debugging automotive electronic signals using oscilloscopes. The lesson reviews the key concepts covered in the course and provides some tips for further learning.
