The data analysis function of MicroPeckerX CAN FD Analyzer allows you to analyze and visualize acquired log data from various angles. Main features are as follows.

FeatureDescription
Integrated log analysis (Analyze tab)Merge logs from multiple channels and analyze on one timeline.
- Multi-channel log merge (Ch Mixing)
- Filter display (Error/ID/Label)
- Log search (time/trigger/label)
- Time offset set/clear
- CAN GW analysis (delay, loss, retention)
- Undo/Redo (up to 5 steps)
- Log load/save buttons
Per-channel log analysis (Ch Log tab)Analyze each channel independently.
- Filter display (Error/ID/Label)
- Log search (time/trigger/label)
- Time offset set/clear
- Frame cycle measurement (Frame Analyze)
- Log load/save buttons
GW analysisMeasures frame delay, message loss, and retention peak via CAN-Gateway.
Frame cycle analysisMeasures transmission interval of specified frames and displays max/min/average/sample count. Results can be saved as CSV.
Advanced filter/searchDetailed filtering and search by Error/ID/Label and other conditions.
Log load/saveImport/export log files in Analyze Window and Ch Log tabs.
Undo/RedoUndo/redo filter and merge operations up to 5 steps.

These functions support efficient multi-angle analysis of large on-site logs for quick problem identification and performance evaluation.
