| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Per-channel tab display | You can select the channel to display from log data of up to 8 channels. |
| Log display view mode | Two view types are available. - Single View: displays one channel in a large area. - Dual View: displays two channels side by side. |
| LIN bus traffic graph | Displays communication load (bus utilization) for each channel in real time. |
This allows you to monitor multiple buses while checking load status at a glance.
