TEMES 1.0

In CAN scan mode, all CAN messages are logged (except remote frames and error frames, and assuming the SICOLOG is fast enough). However, CAN signals of a scanned CAN are not updated (and thus input CAN signals always yield 0, and output CAN signals are never output). It is possible to also make a standard recording at the same time. Then, saving the measurement with TEMES will only store the samples and ignore the CAN samples, and TSD.EXE must first be called at the command line in order to extract the recorded CAN samples. E. g. with

 

C:\>TSD s m:

 

(or with

 

C:\>TSD s m: filename.log

 

to also redirect the output to file filename.log)

 

which yields

Column  1-10: Date

Column 12-26: Time (start marker or sync time without fraction)

Column    28: CAN number (1-4)

Column    30: 'F' if message is a CAN FD message

Column    31: 'B' if message uses bit rate switching

Column    32: 'R' is reserved for remote frames

Column 34-41: Message identifier (hex)

Column 43-44: Message size (decimal)

Column 46-  : Message data (hex)

 

The timestamps have an accuracy of about 1 s (because they are derived from the real time clock), and only the relative timestamps (= the differences of absolute timestamps) are exact (for the corresponding CAN number) within a contiguous section which is delimited by start markers.

 

Following warning or error lines can appear:

 

W: Missing measurement data (USB stick access too slow)!

W: Missing messages for CAN #1!

W: Missing messages for CAN #2!

W: Missing messages for CAN #3!

W: Missing messages for CAN #4!

E: Unknown data = stream data (hex)

E: Wrong data = stream data (hex)

 

And one warning line which can mostly be ignored for the CAN samples:

 

W: Missing measurement data (CPU too slow)!

 

However, the timestamp might be out of synchronization when the cycle processing was delayed by at least 30 ms (for CAN1 or CAN2) or 35 minutes (for CAN3 or CAN4), or when a start marker happens to be in the missing measurement data. Also, there is a blind spot after missing messages for a CAN that further missing messages will be ignored for the next following 4 CAN messages (for CAN1 or CAN2) or for the next following 26 CAN messages (for CAN3 or CAN4).

 

The ASCII file filename.log can be converted to a TEMES measurement filename.tms with the command line program LOG2TMS.EXE, e. g. with

 

C:\>LOG2TMS -1 library filename

 

which creates signals for all defined CAN signals of the library library.can with the adjustable default sample rate of 10 ms and only the samples of CAN number 1.
