Version 0x102
This format is created by the extractor. Click to see Network ID's
Version 0x103
This format is created using VSpy. Click to see Network ID’s
Used by version 0x102 and 0x103. The ExtraDataPtr -1 of each message is a index to the EDP in EDP section. Click to see Network ID's
Version 0x104
This format is created by the Loggers and VSpy Stream to Disk.
Version 0x101
Below is a C++ example of how to open a .vsb file (v102 & v103 & 104) and display the network messages (Ethernet, CANFD, and CAN) with some other useful information You can view the full C++
code or Download the full project from the links provided.

Text Identifier
6
single byte char array with text "icsbin"used to identify file type.
File Version
4
single byte char array indicate version.
Version Section
Variable (see below)
This data structure is determinant the File Version
Length of Vs3 File
4
int value indicating the length of the next section (the vs3 file). A zero indicates no vs3 file is present.
Vs3 file
variable (see above)
vs3 file used to save this binary file. This vs3 file is later used to decode the binary data into usable information.
Length of text comment
4
int indicating the length of the text header comment of the saved file. SINCE THE COMMENT IS UNICODE THEREFORE HIS IS THE LENGTH IN CHARACTERS - NOT BYTES.
Text comment
2 bytes per character (see above for number of characters)
Unicode text comment.
Size of Buffer of Messages
4
sizeof(VSBSpyMessage) multiplied by Number of messages saved to the file
Current Buffer Pointer
4
int value which is the pointer to the most recent buffer item +1. (only needed if Number of All time messages > Original buffer size)
Original Buffer Size
4
int value which is the size of the buffer memory originally allocated by this buffer
Number of All time messages
4
this indicates how many messages were received by this buffer (this number will indicate overflows)
Buffer of Messages
variable (see Size of Buffer of Messages)
VSBSpyMessage structures
Start Time of Collection
struct icsspyMsgTime
this is a comparison value between the system time stamp and the neoVI time stamp.
Length of EDP Section
4
int value indicating the length of the next section (the EDP). A zero indicates no EDP section file is present.
variable (see above)
used to save the extra data bytes for networks such as Ethernet, Flexray, and CANFD
Buffer of Messages
variable (see Size of Buffer of Messages)
VSBSpyMessage structures
Start Time of Collection
struct icsspyMsgTime
this is a comparison value between the system time stamp and the neoVI time stamp.
Length of EDP Section
4
int value indicating the length of the next section (the EDP). A zero indicates no EDP section is present.
variable (see above)
used to save the extra data bytes for networks such as Ethernet, Flexray, and CANFD
Length of text comment
4
int indicating the length of the text header comment of the saved file. SINCE THE COMMENT IS UNICODE THEREFORE HIS IS THE LENGTH IN CHARACTERS - NOT BYTES.
Text comment
2 bytes per character (see above for number of characters)
Unicode text comment.
Size of Buffer of Messages
4
sizeof(VSBSpyMessage) multiplied by Number of messages saved to the file
Current Buffer Pointer
4
int value which is the pointer to the most recent buffer item +1. (only needed if Number of All time messages > Original buffer size)
Original Buffer Size
4
int value which is the size of the buffer memory originally allocated by this buffer
Number of All time messages
4
this indicates how many messages were received by this buffer (this number will indicate overflows)
Buffer of Messages
variable (see Size of Buffer of Messages)
VSBSpyMessage structures
Start Time of Collection
struct icsspyMsgTime
this is a comparison value between the system time stamp and the neoVI time stamp.
Text identifier
12
single byte char array with text "EDP_SECTION" used to identify file type. please note the null terminator at the end
EDP Size
4
int indicating the length of the EDP
EDP
variable (see above)
used to save the extra data bytes for networks such as Ethernet, Flexray, and CANFD
......
variable (see above)
EDP Size and EDP continue to repeat until Length of EDP Section is met.
Buffer of Messages
VSBSpyMessage structures
VSBSpyMessage structures
EDP
variable (see previous message's ExtraDataPtr)
used to save the extra data bytes for networks such as Ethernet, Flexray, and CANFD
......
variable
Buffer of Message and EDP continue to repeat until Start Time of Collection. If you are reading the VSB file, simple continue to read until Buffer of Message size read not equal sizeof(VSBSpyMessage)
Start Time of Collection
struct icsspyMsgTime
this is a comparison value between the system time stamp and the neoVI time stamp.
