How do I play a blf file in CANalzyer

Question

I'm somewhat new to using CANalyzer and have never used the logging feature in the product. I was sent a BLF file to analyze and am unsure how to use it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Answer 1

To be a little more specific:

1. Set the offline mode in the standard toolbar.
2. Click on the configuration tab, usually at the bottom of the window. You will see the Measurement Setup window.
3. Double click on the Configuration of the Log Files block - there you can add your recorded log file (should be in .blf format).

Answer 2

1. When the .blf file is ready, after logging the activity in CANalyzer, open with desired workspace and change the mode to Offline mode.
2. In "Measurement Setup" make sure that the mode is "Offline" and now right click on the icon which comes as input to Offline block.
3. Click "Configuration" and in the next window, remove unwanted file selection and Add your required .blf file and press OK.
4. Now press F9 or select the "Start" icon on the tool bar.

After these steps, the activity logged will play in the corresponding tab.
