ItemDescriptionNotes
Monitoring OptionSlave ModeEnables/disables slave mode. If enabled, the software works as a time-synchronization slave. When put into synchronization-wait state, monitoring starts/stops automatically in sync with the time-synchronization master side (timing error of several tens of milliseconds may occur when stopping).Use this when operating MicroPeckerX and MicroPecker with time synchronization, or when operating multiple MicroPeckerX units across two PCs and this GUI should run as the time-synchronization slave.
Sync WaitWhen slave mode is enabled, specifies in seconds the maximum wait time for a synchronization signal from the master after entering synchronization-wait state. Configurable range: 1-60.If no synchronization signal is received within the specified time, Monitor synchronization error. occurs and synchronization-wait state is canceled.
Monitor Record SizeSets the maximum number of log records retained and displayed by the Monitor Window. Configurable range: 100-1000.Using spin buttons changes the value in steps of 100.
Refresh RateSets the redraw interval (display update timing) for each GUI window in milliseconds. Configurable range: 100-1000.Using spin buttons changes the value in steps of 100 ms.
LIN/CXPI : Calculate Wakeup pulses as packetsFor LIN/CXPI communication, specifies whether wakeup signals are included in packet counts shown in Monitor Window Status.
[ON] Include wakeup signals in packet count.
[OFF] Do not include wakeup signals in packet count.
This setting is not reflected in Status after monitoring has stopped.
Layout OptionChange "Monitoring Layout" before MonitoringSpecifies whether to automatically change layout when monitoring starts.
[ON] Switch to Monitoring Layout when monitoring starts.
[OFF] Do not change layout when monitoring starts.
Change "Analyze Layout" before MonitoringSpecifies whether to automatically change layout when monitoring stops.
[ON] Switch to Analyze Layout when monitoring stops.
[OFF] Do not change layout when monitoring stops.
Log OptionTime Stamp FormSets the timestamp display format for log records. Choices:
+-HHH:MM:SS.mmm.uuu, +-SSSSSSS.mmmuuu
This setting is also applied when saving log files. If a log file saved with a different setting is loaded, the timestamp display format is automatically converted to the current setting.
CAN/CAN-FD ID FormSets the display format of IDs in CAN extended format.
[ALL ID] Displays SID and EID as one continuous 29-bit value (upper 11 bits: SID, lower 18 bits: EID).
[SID/EID] Displays SID and EID separately (left: SID, right: EID).
This setting is also applied when saving log files. If a log file saved with a different setting is loaded, the log ID display format is automatically converted to the current setting.
LIN/CXPI Log TypeSets the display format for LIN/CXPI logs in Monitor Window, Each ID Window, and Analyze Window.
[Header + Response] Displays header and response separately. Log Type becomes Header and Response.
[LIN/CXPI Frame] Displays header and response as one frame. Log Type becomes LIN Frame or CXPI Frame.
This setting is also applied when saving log files. However, if a log file saved with a different setting is loaded, the log display format is not converted. Also, changing this setting does not affect logs currently displayed in each window.
Logging OptionDivide LoggingSets whether log files are automatically split under certain conditions.
[None] No automatic split.
[FileSize] Split when file size reaches threshold (1-4095 MB).
[Record] Split when record count reaches threshold (100-2500000).
[Time] Split when elapsed time from logging start reaches threshold (1-3600 seconds).
Applies only to log files automatically saved during monitoring.
