ates smaller log files. When ASCII format is chosen, the data are saved as readable
text. The setting of the global switch determines whether decimal or hexadecimal representation
is used. Among other things, ASCII format can be used for data exchange
with external programs or for incorporating trace data into documents.
The Offline mode data source can be configured to be either binary or ASCII files.
The automatically preset extension of the file name is .LOG for a binary log file or
.ASC for an ASCII file. The recommended default name is CANoe.LOG or CA-
Noe.ASC.
To view or edit an ASCII file, double click the file icon or press the [Edit file] button in
the configuration dialog for the log file. You can use your own text editor for this. To
do this, enter the following line in section [Environment] of the file CAN.INI:
LogEditor=MYEDITOR.EXE
whereby you must enter the name of your own editor for MYEDITOR.EXE.
With the check box Increment logging file you can indicate, that the name of the
logging file is automatically incremented at start of measurement or after each trigger
block, after reaching a defined file size or after reaching a defined duration. This prevents
overwriting files that already exist.
In the configuration dialog you can indicate whether data losses in overload situations
should be reported to you. In the log file, the faulty lines are marked with a ‘*’ as a
special symbol.
Note: Analogous to output in the Write window with the CAPL function write(),
you can output text lines from CAPL programs to ASCII log files using the
functions writeToLog() and writeToLogEx().
2.7.3 Event Types in Log Files
In the following table you will find an overview of all events that are recorded in the
log file. When the function Log internal events is active in the file icon's configuration
dialog the internal events generated by the program (e.g. bus statistics information,
triggers, changes to environment variables etc.) are also logged. To have bus
statistics information generated the relevant option must be activated in the Card and
Driver Options dialog. There you also set how frequently these events should be
generated.
In the first column you will find all event types that are recorded by logging. In the second
column is the format of the particular event in ASCII logging. The third column provides
information on whether the event can also be recorded in binary MDF log files.
You can determine from the last column whether the function Log internal event must
be activated to log the event.
