Supporting Bus Trace Files (BLF, ASC, MDF)

Loading Bus Trace Files

MDA supports the loading of Bus Trace files, namely CAN Bus Trace files, LIN Bus Trace files and Ethernet Trace files. See the following paragraphs for detailed information about how to load these Bus Trace file types. MDA now also supports reading Ethernet Trace files with source and destination MAC identifiers.

An additional add-on is required to support Bus Trace files for the CAN or LIN Bus or Ethernet Trace data. It enables to load trace files into MDA. In combination with a description file signals can be interpreted from the trace data.

The INCA CAN Trace add-on includes a valid license for the CAN, LIN Bus and Ethernet Trace functionality in MDA.

Supported protocols are:

for CAN: CAN 2.0, CAN FD, J1939,

for LIN: LIN 2.x,
for Ethernet: IEEE 802.3.
