Log File Specifications

Log Files

MicroPeckerX CAN FD Analyzer exports captured data to CSV-format log files. The contents are described below.

Log File Sample

The log file consists of a header section followed by frame data.

Log file sample

Header Section

When logging starts, the header information (settings from the main window) is written to the log file. The output fields are:

FieldDescription
FileNameName of the log file.
DateTimeDate and time when logging started (YYYY/MM/DD_hh:mm:ss).
ChChannel that produced the log.
OffsetOffset applied to the Time column in the data section.

Data Section

Each monitored frame is written as one CSV row. The fields are:

FieldDescription
TimeTimestamp of the transmitted or received frame.
ChChannel on which the frame was transmitted or received.
ProtocolProtocol of the frame.
DirTransmission direction (T = transmit, R = receive).
LabelLabel assigned via Label Filter.
StateIndicates OK/NG.
TypeOne of Data Frm., Remote Frm., Ack Err., Error, or OverLoad Frm.
FormatStandard ID (Std) or Extended ID (Ext).
IDFrame ID in hexadecimal.
DLData length code.
D1–D64Payload bytes in hexadecimal.

File Naming

The folder structure and file names follow these rules:

Destination folder
<Logging Folder text box value>\<No label serial number>

Log file name
<Logging File Name text box value>_<Channel number (1-1 to 4-2)>.csv

If the destination folder already exists when logging starts, the application increments the No value (+1) and generates a new folder. If that folder also exists, the process continues until an unused folder name is found. When No exceeds 999, an error is displayed and the analyzer will not start. Change the Logging Folder path and try again.
