Trace Tab 

 

Figure 11: Trace Tab 

On the Trace tab the data tracer of PCAN-View is used for logging 
the communication on a CAN bus. During this process the CAN 
messages are cached in the working memory of the PC. Afterwards 
they can be saved to a file. 

The tracer can be configured to run in linear or in ring buffer mode. 
In linear buffer mode the logging is stopped as soon as the buffer is 
filled completely. In ring buffer mode the oldest messages are 
overwritten by incoming ones.
