Abstract
The present application relates to a node for conducting measurements and signal analyses on a bus supporting multi-master access of a plurality of nodes or a transceiver of the node. The transceiver is configured to detect bus signals and to convert the detected bus signals into a bit stream. A protocol engine is arranged to receive the bit stream. The protocol engine transitions between states, which are indicative of at least an exclusive access phase, during which only one of the plurality of nodes is allowed to assert signals on the bus. A detector is configured to assert an enable indication for a period of time on detecting that the protocol engine is in a state indicative of the exclusive access phase. A diagnosis module is configured to conduct measurements in response to the asserted enable indication.
