CAN Channel LEDs Status
Description

Tracing is enabled for this channel. The
LED is blinking due CAN traffic.
The blinking pattern of the memory card and CAN channel LEDs can
be configured (see chapter 7.2.11 page 39).
7.3.2
Control with the Log Off Card Button
The Log Off Card button is used to start and stop logging and safely
disconnect and reconnect the internal and external memory cards.
If the button is pressed while logging, logging is stopped and all
interactions with the memory cards are canceled. Then it is possible
to access the memory cards via the USB connection or to remove
the SD card from the slot.
If the button is pressed again, the memory cards are reconnected
and logging is restarted. If this is done while the memory card is
accessed via USB, the USB connection is canceled or kept
depending on the configuration (see chapter 7.2.7 page 36).
7.3.3
Handling Trace Files
The messages of all configured CAN channels are saved to a binary
coded trace file named
Trace_###.btrc
. The 3-digit file index
###
is incremented when a new file is created.
A new file is only created if the maximum file size is reached. If
tracing was stopped and then restarted, saving is continued in the
same file which was used before.
Beside the
*.btrc
trace files, a
*.next
file is stored on the memory
card. This file contains information about the current tracing
process and how to proceed if continued. If trace files are removed
from the memory card, this
*.next
file must be removed too.
