MicroPeckerX DIO/AD License​

Function	Overview
Monitoring	Monitor DIO signals and AD conversion data in real time. ・Monitor period: 1 ms–60,000 ms (DIO), 0.1 ms–1,000 ms (AD) ・Input voltage range: DIO 0–3.3 V, AD 0–5 V / 15 V / 40 V (selectable) ・Data output: On-screen display (up to 100,000 records), file export (CSV / hexadecimal) ・Trigger-controlled log start/stop (Free Run / Start Trigger / Stop Trigger) ・Condition settings (label assignment, filtering, Lo/Hi transition detection, wildcard support)
Analysis	Load and analyze recorded log data in multiple formats. ・Text (CSV), A/D conversion data (upcoming physical value conversion support) ・Automatic / manual log loading ・Data search (value conditions, trigger conditions, label filters) ・Filter view (filter by DIO label or AD value) ・Channel log merge function
Log Management	Manage large data logs efficiently. ・Log splitting: File size (1 MB–4095 MB), record count (100–2,500,000 rows), timer (1 sec–3600 sec) ・Output: File export, on-screen display ・Format: Text (CSV), hexadecimal export, A/D data export
Accuracy / Resolution	・Digital I/O: Hi/Lo detection, pull-up / pull-down configuration, output modes (open-drain / push-pull) ・Analog input: 12-bit resolution, ±17.5 mV accuracy, no filter (standard noise tolerance)

[*1]: On PCs with power-saving features, configure settings so that the PC does not enter sleep, stop the hard disk, or throttle the CPU while using this product.
[*2]: Virtualized environments are not supported.
[*3]: Secure enough free disk space for long monitoring sessions.
[*4]: If you use an external USB hub, choose a self-powered model and supply external power before connecting. The device may not work or may become unstable with a bus-powered hub.

Terminology​

Definitions of terms used in this document are provided below.

Term	Description
LIN	Abbreviation for Local Interconnect Network. A communication protocol developed to reduce the cost of in-vehicle networks. Defined as the international standard ISO 17987.
DIO	Abbreviation for Digital Input/Output. Electrical signals required to detect external states using two discrete values, ON (1) and OFF (0).
A/D	Abbreviation for Analog/Digital. Conversion of analog signals to digital signals. This product converts voltage values to digital data.
MicroPeckerX	Hardware system equipped with one LIN channel and one DIO/AD channel, used with this application.
Ch	Abbreviation for Channel. Refers to a physical or logical communication path such as a LIN bus. MicroPeckerX can use multiple channels (for example, Ch1-1, Ch2-1) to send and receive data independently.
Monitoring	Real-time display of data acquired from LIN buses and other sources in the GUI application.
Logging	Automatic saving of acquired data from LIN buses and other sources to the specified PC folder in text (.csv) format.
Physical value	The actual value used in operation. Calculated as “signal value × resolution + offset” or “(signal value + offset) × resolution.”
Signal value	Raw, unconverted data stored in the response section of a LIN frame.
Log playback	Function for replaying and reproducing the contents of a captured log file.
