Dear Colleagues,
customers need for directly importing the NI Veristand log files into third-party tools (as Vector CANanalyzer) and we found the following contrains:
- TDMS are very effective and open, but not directly manageable by other tools
- txt and cvs are potentially more suitable, but NI Veristand 2019 does not allow adding a native Time Channel, that's fundamental. I saw that System Time and Absolute Time are potential channels to add to a log, but there are no options to format the timestamp and to allow some kind of flexibility
Suggestion/requests:
- adding customizable time channels to txt and csv log options in NI Veristand (the limitation is still the files size bacause of ascii, but the multiple files option could help)
- whatever improvement are in the NI VS roamap logging?
- what about MDF4 support? It would be vey useful and well accepted: I recall it was in the roadmap evaluation but no news so far. In case, what MDF: signal and/or message format(s), BTW?
In case, concerning the roadmap, could you please contact me directly (davide.palandella@ni.com)?
Thank you very much
Best Regards
