5.2 DATALOG OF CAN TRAFFIC
The Smart Console can save all CAN messages inside the USB stick. Notice that
messages are saved as they are, without any post-processing.
Obviously this function is unavailable when serial line is used.
5.2.1 File format
Messages are saved inside a file with
.txt
extension. The file contains data
ordered as columns, separated with semicolons.
Columns contains the following information, all in hexadecimal format:
A counter (32bit unsigned): it increases every time a CAN message has
been read and saved. Each rows must increase the counter by one unit. If
two consecutive rows have a larger difference a message has been lost,
for some reason.
Timestamp (32bit unsigned): time, in milliseconds, from the beginning of
the data logging.
Id CAN (32bit unsigned): Id of the received message
Length (8bit unsigned): length of the message
Data (64bit unsigned): data field of the message.
Notice that ERROR FRAMES are written.
Each file contains an header showing time and date when datalog started..
File is always saved in the root directory of the USB stick filesystem.
Filename is CANLOGxy.txt where
xy
is an incremental number, going from 00 to
99: overall it can save up to 100 different files. Smart Console will automatically
save a new file with an increased number.
Only if all 100 filenames are present in the root directory, new files will overwrite
older ones.

This txt file can be imported easily by Microsoft Excel
®
or similar spreadsheet
tool. Please remember to specify the semicolon as separator. Moreover the file
should be imported as “text” to avoid undesired pre-processing of the
hexadecimal numbers.
