how to log more message information in CANalyzer?

Dear All
 
When I use CANalyzer, I found that some information of the message such as its name and its sending node name are not automatically logged. In the "trace" branch of the measurement setup, we can configure to display the above information in the trace window. But in the "logging" branch, there is no such similiar configuration.
 
I tried to insert a CAPL node in logging branch where the following event is added
 
on message *
{
// task1: get customized message information;
// task2: use function writeToLog() to output obtained information;
}
 
Using "message selectors", e.g., this.ID, this.CAN, I can access some of the message information but not information such as message name.
 
 
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
 
 
Regards
 
Bo

Hello Bo,

 

since version there are many extension for using database information in CAPL. For example the function DBLookup allows to retrieve names of messages, of the transmitting nodes etc.

 

Another question is, if you really need this information in the log file itself. If you load a log file in the offline mode or as a replay block, you just need to assign the dbc and have all original symbolic information available.

 

Best regards
