Logger
The Logger Tab is used to capture CAN traffic with the CANBadger. Saved Logs can also be inspected here. The Logger also includes useful filters to effectively analize your logs.
The "Start" button at the bottom will instruct your connected CANBadger to start logging.
CAREFUL: The CANBadger will only log traffic on the interfaces that logging is enabled on.
You can quickly check these in the Interface Tab.
All caputred traffic will show up chronologically. Automatic scolling while logging can be disabled by moving the slider to the position you want to view.
Logs can be saved and loaded to/from .csv using the buttons found in the lower left corner. Logs captured on a CANBadger with a display can also be loaded, if they have been converted from raw binary to .csv by using the parser.
The CAN frames can be filtered by their ID and their payload.
For filtering the payload, enter the payload bytewise seperated by a whitespace. A wildcard byte can be denoted with '_', while '*' denotes arbitrarly many wildcard bytes. This allows to filter for values in certain payload bytes. For example "_ _ ff *" will show all frames with 0xff in their third payload byte.
The compact view only displays the last message for every ID. Activating highlighting will mark changes in payloads, if the content of the previous message from the same ID was quite similar, allowing you to spot small changes in traffic quickly.
