Option to include CAN monitor data in data log?

General
1

Is it possible to log the CAN monitor while a display is active?

If not, is it possible to add this? Essentially, all I want is the CAN monitor to start logging similar to how the datalog feature works.

This is mainly because I want to export the data to another software for track use.

Sorry if this belongs in “feature requests”. I wasn’t sure if the function existed.

Thanks for any input.

Currently no. You have to be in the CAN monitor in order to record CAN log. While it in theory could be activated from the dashboard, the CAN logging is really only targeted for troubleshooting and playback on our internal simulators for testing.

Any possibility of adding it in the future? I understand if it’s not something important enough to consider adding.

Thanks

I have added this to feature request list. No promises though. Issue here is that I feel that it will be confusing to many users to have two different datalogging options.

I 100% understand.

If you do end up adding it, I have some scripts I wrote to convert the exported CAN data to formats for software like SavvyCAN and BUSMASTER. I can share them if anyone is interested.

Thanks for considering it though.
