Filter Display Function

Using the filter display function, you can narrow logs shown in Monitor Window and Each ID Window by conditions such as:

  • Show only logs for specific IDs
  • Hide error logs

This lets you quickly check only required logs from large data sets.

Display conditions are configured in Display Filter Window.

Basic Operation

The steps below explain how to configure an ID filter to show only logs for specific IDs.

  1. Open Display Filter Window
    Select Display Filter Window from menu or toolbar.
Display Filter1
  1. Enable filter display function
    Turn ON the Filter Enabled checkbox. This enables the filter display function.
Display Filter2
  1. Open Display Filter Setting dialog
    Click Add New Filter button. Display Filter Setting dialog appears.
Display Filter3
  1. Set ID filter condition
    Configure ID filter conditions in Display Filter Setting dialog.
Display Filter Setting
  1. Register ID filter condition
    Click OK in Display Filter Setting dialog.
    Configured ID filter condition is registered and shown in ID Filter List of Display Filter Window.
Display Filter5 Display Filter5
  1. Enable ID filter condition
    Turn ON checkbox of ID filter condition added in step 5.
    The condition becomes active.
Display Filter6
  1. Start monitoring
    When monitoring starts, only logs matching ID filter conditions registered in Display Filter Window are shown in Monitor Window and Each ID Window.
tip

Filter display function is not applied to Analyze Window or log files.

Example: Log Display with Filter ON/OFF

Filter Enabled

Display Filter Enable

In this case, only logs with LIN ID 15H are shown based on registered ID filter condition.

Filter Disabled

Display Filter Disable

In this case, logs with LIN IDs 03H, 15H, and 2DH are all shown.

This decreases priority of selected condition.

ItemDescriptionNotes
ID-FormatSelect ID format by radio button.Only LIN ID can be selected.
LogicLogic
(=, And, Or, Xor, Range)
Select logical expression of ID filter condition by radio button.
Log IDSet ID value for filter condition in hexadecimal.
If Logic is =, one input field is shown; otherwise two input fields are shown.
Wildcard * is available only when Logic is =. Bits set as * are ignored in match decision.
ID Setting
(Hex Setting, Bin Setting)
Select format of ID value used for ID filter extraction by radio button.Shown only when Logic is =.
If Hex Setting is selected, Log ID(Bin) is disabled. If Bin Setting is selected, Log ID is disabled.
ID(Bin)Set ID value for filter condition in binary.Shown only when Logic is =.
OK buttonSaves configured ID filter condition and closes dialog.
Cancel buttonDiscards configured ID filter condition and closes dialog.

Meanings of configurable Logic values are as follows.

LogicLogical ExpressionDescriptionUse Case
=Log ID = ID1Displays logs when log ID exactly matches ID1.
ID1 format can be switched between Hex and Bin, and * wildcard can exclude specific bits from match.
Show only logs of a specific ID
And( Log ID & ID1 ) = ID2Displays logs when logical AND result of log ID and ID1 equals ID2.
For example, if both ID1 and ID2 are 03H, logs whose lower 2 bits are 11B (such as 03H, 07H) are displayed.
Show logs where specific ID bits are all 1
Or( Log ID | ID1 ) = ID2Displays logs when logical OR result of log ID and ID1 equals ID2.
For example, if both ID1 and ID2 are 03H, logs whose lower 2 bits are not 00B (at least one bit is 1) are displayed.
Show logs where at least one specific ID bit is 1
Xor( Log ID ^ ID1 ) = ID2Displays logs when logical XOR result of log ID and ID1 equals ID2.
For example, if both ID1 and ID2 are 03H, logs whose lower 2 bits inverted become 03H are displayed.
Show logs whose IDs become a target value when specific bits are inverted
RangeLog ID = ID1 ~ ID2Displays logs when log ID is within range from ID1 to ID2.Show logs in a specific ID range

ID Filter Condition Check Function

In ID Test area of Display Filter Window, you can manually verify whether configured ID filter conditions work as intended.

Use it as follows:

  1. In ID List text box, enter LIN ID to check in hexadecimal.
ID Test1
  1. Click Check button. Check result is shown below the button.
ID Test2

Meanings of check results are as follows.

Check ResultDescription
MatchMatches at least one active ID filter condition registered in ID Filter List.
Not MatchDoes not match any active ID filter condition registered in ID Filter List.
