Logging - Part 1: General Setup

Open Vehicle Spy:

The first step, as with any Vehicle Spy project, is to open Vehicle Spy and Log in.

2. Trigger Message:

This will be the message to look for. When this message is received, a short post capture will be collected. After the post capture, the partition will be changed. This trigger does not have to be a message but could be a signal value, Misc input, or any other type of trigger condition that can be setup for standalone logging. In the example file a Receive HS CAN message will be used with the following Parameters:

3. Partition Index:

To keep track of which partition is being logged to, an application signal is needed. In the example file this is called "PartitionIndex". This will have to be an analog signal type.

4. Capture Function Block:

Next a capture function block needs to be setup. The settings to use are listed below: Filter: Default settings or create a filter for the messages of interest. Start: Start Immediately and make sure "Automatically restart when complete" is checked. Stop and Trigger: Configure this to collect in a one-shot buffer with a buffer size of 50000. Storage: Default settings.
