Functional Overview and Basic Operations

Functional Overview

The monitoring function of MicroPeckerX LIN Analyzer Plus captures and displays frame data on connected LIN buses in real time.

Function	Description
Real-time simultaneous monitoring	You can monitor data from up to 4 connected channels simultaneously.
Log file output	LIN bus frame data is automatically saved as CSV text files in a folder specified on the PC.
Display mode switching	In Monitor Window, you can switch between `Single View` (Tx/Rx data and communication status for one channel) and `Dual View` (Tx/Rx data for two channels side by side). In `Dual View`, channels for DIO/AD can also be displayed side by side.
Latest data per ID	In Each ID Window, only the latest frame information for each transmitted/received LIN ID is displayed so you can quickly grasp current status.
Filter display	You can narrow displayed Tx/Rx data to only data matching specific conditions.
Label display	You can assign arbitrary labels to Tx/Rx data matching specific conditions and highlight them by changing text/background colors.
Trigger function	You can automatically start/stop saving data to log files based on detection of configured conditions.

This enables efficient monitoring of multiple buses and quick understanding of required data.

In this chapter, Monitoring and Logging are defined as follows.

Item	Monitoring (or Monitor)	Logging
Behavior	Data captured from LIN bus is displayed in real time in GUI application.	Data captured from LIN bus is automatically saved in CSV format to a specified PC folder.
Data persistence	Tx/Rx data is stored only in GUI application memory and is erased when application closes.	Data saved in files remains after application closes and can be analyzed/shared later.
