Explanation/usage 

Vector ASC Trace 

.asc 

Text-based trace format by the Vector com-
pany that also can be used by some third-party 
programs. 

Character Separated 
Values (CSV) 

.csv 

Common, text-based format for import into a 
spreadsheet (semicolon as separator). 

 

For further use of the trace data proceed as follows: 

1.

 

Connect the PCAN-Diag to the PC with the provided USB 
cable. The PCAN-Diag does not need to be switched on. 

2.

 

Under Windows, start the 

PEAK-Converter.exe

 program 

from the internal memory card of the PCAN-Diag which 
resides in the 

/PCAN-Diag/Tools

 directory. 

3.

 

Select a trace file (

trc00000.btr

) as source. You can find 

the trace files in a project directory: 

/PCAN-Diag/Projects/<Project Name>

 

4.

 

Specify a destination file and select the desired target 
format (see above).
