Decoded CAN-FD frames appear overlaid on the analog waveform — protocol data and electrical signals visible simultaneously. CAN-FD supports payloads up to 64 bytes at up to 8 Mbit/s. Standard in vehicles from 2020 onward, this decode also handles classic CAN frames on the same bus. The option is enabled by a software license keyed to the oscilloscope's serial number and is permanent for the life of the instrument. Key Features Protocol-Aware Triggering — Trigger on CAN-FD conditions — frame ID, data, error frames, or bit rate switch events. Real-Time Frame Decoding — Decoded CAN-FD frames (ID, DLC, data, CRC, ACK) display on the waveform for protocol-electrical correlation. Deep Memory Search — Search captured records for specific message IDs, data patterns, or errors across the full memory. Error Detection — Identifies CRC, form, stuff, and acknowledge errors for intermittent failure diagnosis. Lifetime License Activation — activate once, owned for the life of the instrument. No subscriptions, no renewals, no maintenance fees. When You Need This Option The option fits the following workflows: ECU Development — Trigger on your ECU's ID to capture CAN-FD messages and verify timing, payload, and acknowledge behavior. Intermittent Bus Errors — Error frame triggering captures the exact moment a CAN-FD error occurs — examine the waveform to find electrical vs. protocol root causes. Compatibility This option is compatible with the MSO8000HD Series: MSO8804HD (8 GHz). The same capability is offered on other UNI-T oscilloscope families: MSO2000X, MSO3000HD, MSO3000X, MSO5000HD, MSO7000X, UPO7000L. Frequently Asked Questions Do I need this if I already have classic CAN? Yes. CAN and CAN-FD are separate protocols. CAN-FD decode also handles classic CAN frames on the same bus. Should I buy this individually or get a bundle? If you only need CAN-FD, the individual license covers exactly that protocol. The BND bundle includes every protocol in the series. How is this option activated? The option is enabled by a software license keyed to the oscilloscope's serial number. After purchase, the license is registered on the UNI-T website to generate the license file, which is then loaded onto the instrument from a USB drive through the option-install menu. Refer to the oscilloscope's user manual for the step-by-step procedure. Is the license permanent, or does it require renewal? The license is permanent — a one-time purchase that stays active for the life of the instrument. No subscriptions, no annual renewals, and no expiration.
