# Message Capture Method: Message Collection Options

In [VehicleScape DAQ](/vspy-3-documentation/3.9.17/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/vehiclescape-daq.md) [Standalone Logging](/vspy-3-documentation/3.9.17/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/vehiclescape-daq/vehiclescape-daq-standalone-logging-tab.md), the first set of options for the [Message Capture Method](/vspy-3-documentation/3.9.17/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/vehiclescape-daq/vehiclescape-daq-standalone-logging-tab/standalone-logging-collections-and-methods/collections-and-methods-message-capture-method.md) deals with which messages to collect. Figure 1 shows this subsection of the options tab.

There are two main options:

* **Log all bus messages:** Log all messages from all networks.
* **Log only the items selected on the Channels tab:** Log only data selected on the [Channels tab](/vspy-3-documentation/3.9.17/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-measurement/vehiclescape-daq/vehiclescape-daq-channels-tab.md).

### Advanced Collection Options

Clicking the **Log only the items selected on the Channels tab** option enables the **Advanced Options** button, which when clicked, opens up a dialog box with more specific settings, as shown in Figure 2.
