Possible new features 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Greetings,

I very much like the product and it's features.

Wish list:

Log file import/export compatibility with Vector product (simplifies post processing of data regardless of the hardware/software used to capture the data) example: read/write ASC or BLF

Increased graphing capabilities - ability to have multiple scales on the same axis; multiple axes (>2); strip chart like grouping and displaying of signals, but have a single X time axis

Increased functionality of transmitter block - ability to select PGN's from the database then have the SPN signals automatically appear and show raw/scaled values with 'spinners'

Cheers,
JMA

You can import ASC files using the Replay Block - this was just added in V2.1 about 2-3 weeks ago. In the replay file select dialog you have to change the "Files of type:" dropdown.

There is also an "ASC export script" that I recently added to the website. I just decided to do this for a customer as a quick fix before we could get it added to the official code set. The only inconvenience is that you have to open the code and change the first line which is the filename. Since it's already done, I'm sure it would be pretty easy for us to add it into the actual CANCapture code.

I don't think we will be supporting the BLF format because it would take a bit of time to reverse a binary format (unless its public somewhere?).

As far as increased graphing capabilities and the PGN transmitting, both of these things have been requested by a number of people and are somewhere on our list of features to add. Pretty much the exact same things have been requested a number of times (the multiple axis and the transmitting of "scaled" variables using a slider or something). I'm not sure where these stand on our list of priorities.

I think you can do multiple scales on the same Y-axis by clicking "Edit Series" for a given variable. I agree though that we need to go back and add a few more features to the graph.

Thanks for the feedback!

Here's the link to download the ASC file export script:

To load it into CANCapture, just right click on the workspace window and click "Import Selection". Then wire it into whatever data stream you want.

Greetings,

Thank you for the script. It will save me quite a bit of time.

It would seem "import" and "export" are the correct way to save scripts. If only I would have realized this sooner as I just overwrote the workspace configuration and lost the scripts I was working on. :)

Cheers,
JMA
