Trace Tab

Figure 9: Trace tab
On the Trace tab the data tracer of PCAN-View is used for logging
the communication on a CAN bus. During this process the
messages are cached in the working memory of the PC. Afterwards
they can be saved to a file.
The tracer can be configured to run in linear or in ring buffer mode.
In linear buffer mode the logging is stopped as soon as the buffer is
filled completely. In ring buffer mode the oldest messages are
overwritten by incoming ones.
