Settings → Network → More...

Network settings screen

Ethernet connection with static IP address
Connect the logger to your PC via the ETH-PC Ethernet connection. For
Multi IP (factory default), the logger is preconfigured as follows:
• IP address 172.16.(<serial number>/256).(<serial number> modulo 256),
e.g.,
SN00066 → 172.16.(66/256).(66 modulo 256) → 172.16.0.66
SN00256 → 172.16.(256/256).(256 modulo 256) → 172.16.1.0
• Subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
Note: If you selected Static IP via System → Settings → Network → Static IP, you
must enter an IP address. In this case, no IP address is preconfigured.
Set a corresponding IP address and subnet mask on your PC.

 Example: The logger has 172.16.0.66. The PC has 172.16.0.1 and subnet mask
255.255.0.0.
The IP address is also displayed on the display, as soon as the logger is connected to
the PC.

Changing the logger's static IP address

The IP address can currently only be set directly on the logger. To do this, use
System → Settings → Network → Static IP.

Ethernet connection via DHCP

Connect the logger via the ETH-PC Ethernet connection to a network in which a DHCP
server is present. The logger is automatically assigned an IP address. This address
appears on the display (see image below).

Connection between logger and PC

Logger address
The Windows host name of the logger is TTX-PM200-<serial number>.
For instance: ttx-pm200-00066
Either the host name (e.g., \\ttx-pm200-00066\) or the IP address (e.g., \
\10.100.99.161) can be used to get access to the logger via a PC.
In the following, the term 'logger address' is used as a synonym for the logger's host
name or the IP address.

Ethernet-Statistics
Using the menu function System → Settings → Network → More you can view
statistical information about the data (i.e., the IP packets) transmitted on the active
connections. There are info about received (RX) and transmitted (TX) packets.

Checking the WLAN Status

A working Ethernet connection is a precondition for configuring the logger's WLAN
interface. See Application Note D-DL4-AN-05-011, Configuring the WLAN Interface, for
details (see Further Reading - Application Notes). You can check the WLAN status with
the menu function System Settings → Network → WLAN Info.

5.3 Logger Manager

You can do the following with the Logger Manager:

• Append Loggers
• Change Logger Settings
• Upload and view license files
• Upload Configuration Files from the File System
• Activate Configurations
• Delete Configurations
• Select Storage Media
• Start and stop data recording
• Convert, display, and delete trace files

To open the Logger Manager:

• Select the View → Logger Management display.
By default, the Logger Manager displays all loggers where the option Lock is selected
in the context menu (see Section The Context Menu). The option Lock is selected by
default when a logger is added manually.
Alternatively, autodetection can be activated. Autodetection is only available in expert
mode and is enabled with the icon in the toolbar and disabled with the icon . If
autodection is enabled, the Logger Manager additionally displays all loggers currently
present in the directly connected subnets. The list is first established when the
configuration tool is started and is updated periodically. Every time a new logger goes
online, it sends a broadcast message that is registered by the tool and the logger is
appended to the list. Also the current status of all detected loggers (Connected or Not
Available) is updated regularly, but this can be disabled for individual loggers (see
description of context menu item Update Status Periodically below in Section The
Context Menu).

 5.3.1 The Context Menu

The Logger Manager context menu

The following functions/options are available for each logger upon right-clicking:
• Logger Settings: Opens the Logger Settings Dialog where you can edit
some basic settings for the selected logger. See Section Logger Settings for
details.
• Copy logger information: Copies the contents of the Logger Information
folder and its subfolders to the clipboard, so they can easily be pasted into a
text editor and stored as text file.
• Logging Media: Here you can select the media to which the recorded data
shall be written (default: SSD, see Section Selecting the Storage Medium).
• Start/Stop Logging: Start/stop recording data to the selected media. See
Section Data Recording for details.
• Update Status Periodically: By default, the configuration tool periodically
updates the list and the status of all detected loggers. Disabling this option
"freezes" the current status of the selected logger until you either enable the
option again or restart the tool. To update the status manually between the
update intervals, use the Refresh button in the Logger Manager toolbar.
• Delete: Removes the selected logger from the list until the next tool start.
During this time, neither Refresh nor the autodetection function will make it
reappear.

20
 • Lock: If this option is selected, the selected logger is always displayed in
the Logger Manager (that is, also after a restart of the configuration tool).
For loggers that have been manually added, this option is selected by
default. For loggers that have been automatically detected, this option is not
selected by default.

5.3.2 Adding a Logger

To manually establish a PC connection with a PM-200 (e.g., if autodectection is
disabled):

1. Click on the Add Logger button in the Logger Manager. A dialog window
appears.

Dialog for entering the IP address of

the logger to be connected

2. Enter the IP address or the host names of the loggers that you would like to add
and click OK (see Ethernet Interfaces → 'Logger addresses').
Note that several loggers can be connected to the PC at the same time, as they are
unambiguously identified by their IP addresses.

5.3.3 Logger Settings

To make basic settings for identification and storage management of a logger, right-
click on the desired logger in the Logger Manager and select Logger Settings from
the context menu. This dialog is also accessible from the main menu (View → Logger
Settings).
The two tabs of the dialog are described in the following.
Note: Clicking Save Settings saves the settings in both tabs and closes the dialog. It
is therefore recommended to complete all settings inboth tabs first, and then save them
in one step.

21
 5.3.3.1 General Settings

In the General Settings tab of the Logger Settings dialog you can assign a name
to the logger (Loggername) and add a description (Logger Description). This
simplifies the assignment of recorded data later on.

5.3.3.2 Licenses
Each logger must have a valid license file, which is located in the same directory as
the configurations, i.e., media/configs. The name of the license file unequivocally
identifies the associated logger.
In the License tab of the Logger Settings dialog you can view the currently licensed
features, as well as information about the incorporated hardware components. With
the button Upload License File you can upload a new license file to the logger. This
is necessary when you buy additional feature packages. In this case you will receive a
new, extended license file and need to copy it to media/configs.

 5.3.3.3 Storage Management
In the Tracefile Settings tab of the Logger Settings dialog you can define, how
the currently active external storage medium shall be used.
By selecting the Logging mode you define the basic storage layout:
• Normal: The whole SSD storage is treated as one single partition, to which all data
is written (trace files as well as user application output). When the SSD is full, the
error message "SSD full!" is issued and the logger stops recording.
• Ring buffer: The SSD storage is partitioned into two areas; a Reserved Trace
Space and a User Space, with the Reserved Trace Space assuming ring buffer
semantics, whereas the User Space keeps the standard storage semantics.
• In Trace part files, splitting trace files can be enabled or disabled for selected
logging mode (Normal or Ring buffer). If splitting trace files is enabled, size of
trace files can be set.

 In the Ring buffer properties you can set the size of the trace file parts stored in the
ring buffer with the parameter Block Size (lower limit is 10 MiB and value can be only
even number).
External Media Overview allows to configure the active external storage medium as
ring buffer. Click Enabled to activate this feature, and set the desired granularity in the
parameter Block size in MB. Otherwise, if External Media Overview is not enabled,
the removal of the TTL will be not performed.
Finally click Save Settings to store your settings in the file system.

5.3.4 Uploading a Configuration File from the File System

To upload a configuration file (.lcg) from the PC's file system to the logger:
1. Expand the node of the corresponding logger in the Logger Manager View →
Logger Management) to displaythe contents.

2. Right-click on Configurations and select Add Configurations.

3. Select a .lcg file and click Open.

Alternatively, you can also copy configuration files from the file system to the logger in

 • If you want to integrate additional functions in configurations, you need to enable
and configure them in the Additional Configuration dialog (Integrating Additional
Functions).

Subsequently configure the desired bus interfaces (see Configuring the Bus Interfaces)
and re-save the configuration.
Note: You can also open stored configuration files in the main window of the
configuration tool by drag-and-drop from the Windows explorer. The configuration dialog
for this configuration opens automatically in a new tab.

5.4.1 Logging Options

The Logging group box provides several options for customizing the logging behavior:

The available logging options

• Autostart Logging: The logger starts logging to the currently configured medium
immediately when clamp 30 is switched on.
• Autostart Monitoring: If you enable this option, no global trace file is created
during logging, the logger only "listens" on the configured bus interface(s). Any other
actions need to be defined in user applications or additional functions (see
Integrating Additional Functions). The main use case for this option is together with
filtering and triggering applications (FTC, see the corresponding Application Notes
in Further Reading - Application Notes). Having the logger record only the desired
data saves memory and improves performance.
• Medium Triggered Logging: The logger starts logging immediately when an
operational logging medium (e.g., a USB stick) is inserted into the logger or the
remote control. Note that this does not include wakeup, so the logger first needs to
be switched on separately. If this option is enabled together with Autostart
Logging, the logger aborts its running logging session when a new medium is
inserted and starts a new session on this medium. This is also independent of the
storage medium defined in the configuration (Selecting the Storage Medium).

TTTech - Confidential
PM-200 User Manual © 2010 - 2022 TTTech Auto

29
 • Create debug data: If this option is enabled, the automatic creation of the debug
data will follow logging. As a final result, there will be a new file, which will have
the same name as a TTL trace file and extension.LOG. In that file, all the internal
logger-related data will be collected. The start of the logging with that option
means that the start of the recording debug data is started, and together with the
stop of the logging, also stop of the recording debug data should be on.
• Sort data frames: When this option is selected, during the logging of the data,
sorting by time should be performed (default implementation has a different
intention, and data should be ordered not by time criterion)
• Data Storage: At the moment, Storage type is locked as Local, all the recorded data,
in the form of TTL trace files, should be stored in SSD or external configured storage
media. DataForward option is disabled, the data will be not converted and streamed.

Important note: At the moment, DataForward option is disabled

5.4.2 Power Management

You can set the following general parameters (see Figure "General settings" below):
• Enable: Switches power-saving mode on and off.
• Bus Idle Timeout: Time in seconds before the logger switches to the standby mode
if no messages are being received. The minimum value is 30.
• Mode:
• Active Standby: If the logger reawakens, the message leading to the
reawakening is logged. However, power consumption is greater than with
passive standby (see Positive Voltage Supply (UBAT) for exact values).
• Passive Standby: If the logger reawakens, the message leading to the
reawakening is not logged; power consumption is significantly reduced.
• Super Sleep: If the logger reawakens, the message leading to the
reawakening is not logged; power consumption is minimized. In this mode,
Bus Idle Detection and Wakeup are exclusively possible via the CAN1,
CAN2, LIN1, and clamp 15 bus interfaces, and cannot be disabled, either. All
other bus interfaces are not part of the power management configuration.
Furthermore, the On/Off button is deactivated and the MOST ring is opened.

 • Repetition:
• OneShot: After the first awakening, the logger does not go back to sleep
despite bus silence.
• Cyclic: The logger always goes back to sleep after the specified bus silence
time (see Bus Idle Timeout).

General settings for power management

To configure power management for individual buses, you must also complete
the following additional steps:
1. Select Bus Idle Detection for at least one bus interface (reachable via File New
Measurement Configuration <Interface>). Also select Enabled with this bus
(see Figure below).

Bus-specific power management settings

As soon as bus silence occurs for at least the time interval configured in Bus Idle
Timeout (see above) on all the buses configured with Bus Idle Detection, the
logger switches to sleep mode. Note, however, that pressing any key on the
logger's front panel interrupts and resets the bus idle counter and thus postpones
the sleep mode (see Conversion of Single Trace Files, "Split by Marker").

 2. Select Wakeup with at least one bus interface (see figure above). This selection
enables the logger to awake only during communication on certain buses, and to
ignore the other buses.
You can also use the Interface Overview view (see Figure "Interface summary"
below) to see a summary of, or to change the settings for, the Enabled, Bus Idle
Detection, and Wakeup parameters for all bus interfaces.

5.4.3 Shutdown Mechanisms for Battery Protection

The PM-200 provides two configurable protection mechanisms against accidental
discharge of the vehicle battery due to operation errors or highly sporadic problems in
the device itself:
• Automatic Shutdown
• Automatic Restart
5.4.3.1 Automatic Shutdown
The function Automatic Shutdown shuts down the logger in case of either of the
scenarios described in the following. It is activated by selecting Enable in the group box
General Configuration Automatic Shutdown (see figure below). In configurations
newly created in the tool this function is activated by default.

Dialog for configuring the automatic logger shutdown

TTTech - Confidential
PM-200 User Manual © 2010 - 2022 TTTech Auto

32
 Automatic shutdown due to missing user interaction on the logger
If the logger is in state "STOPPED" and no user interaction takes place for a defined
period of time, the device shuts down. Relevant user interactions are:
• Key press on the logger or the remote control
• Communication between the configuration tool and the device currently active in
the Logger Manager
• File transfer over the Windows Explorer (Samba)
• Communication over an SSH-connection between PC and Logger
The inactivity period before an automatic shutdown can be set in the parameter
Inactivity Shutdown Timeout in the group box Automatic Shutdown. The default
value is 1 h.

Automatic shutdown due to battery undervoltage

If the logger is in state "STOPPED" or "LOGGING" and the supply voltage drops below
the Battery Protection Level and then stays below the level given by Battery
Protection Level + Battery Threshold Voltage for a defined period of time (Battery
Protection Timeout), the device shuts down. The graphic below shows a typical voltage
curve leading to this behavior.

Typical voltage curve leading to a logger shutdown caused by Battery Protection Timeout

The default values for the parameters are as follows:

• 60 s for Battery Protection Timeout

• 9 V for Battery Protection Level
• 1 V for Battery Threshold Voltage (This value is only visible and changeable in
expert mode.)

5.4.3.2 Automatic Restart

Use case 1 – Hardware problems after wakeup from standby
• Initial state: Logging to removable storage (SSD) using a standby- configuration
(active or passive).

TTTech - Confidential
PM-200 User Manual © 2010 - 2022 TTTech Auto

33
 • Scenario: During wakeup of the device, highly sporadic (hardware) problems lead
to a restart of the logger (recovery). The originally stored tracefile is stored anew,
with a new timestamp, the sequence number in the file name is increased by 1, and
the postfix _recover is appended.
• Example:
Original trace file: ./SSD/001_20120919_164414_DemoConfig.ttl
Recovered trace file after restart:
./SSD/002_20120919_214329_DemoConfig_recover.ttl

Use case 2 – Faulty CF card after wakeup from standby

• Initial state: Logging to CFR using a standby-configuration (active or passive).
• Scenario: When the device wakes up, the CF card is not available anymore (faulty,
disconnected ...). The device tries to recover three times by rebooting. The
message "Reboot#x" "due to problem with medium CF" is shown on the display. If
the error persists, data recording is continued on the integrated SSD. The new
trace file there has the same name and timestamp as the previously created one on
the CF(R), but with the postfix _fallback.
• Example:
Original trace file: ./CF/001_20120919_164414_DemoConfig.ttl
New trace file on the SSD:
./SSD/001_20120919_164414_DemoConfig_fallback.ttl

Use case 3 – External storage medium full

• Initial state: Logging to an external storage medium (CFR).
• Scenario: If during logging the external storage medium gets full, the device stops the
recording and enters state "STOPPED". If configured, one of the shutdown
mechanisms (see Automatic Shutdown) will then shut down the device.

5.4.4 PTP Clock

This option is part of the feature “Multiple logger control”. With this function, more PM-
200 devices could be set in the cascade mode, and in that case, one PM-200 device
will act as master, which will be in charge of all other, slave devices. Time
synchronization can be enabled over GPTP (Precise Time Protocol) standard and here,
the user can select if the device will be a master or a slave:

The more information about this feature could be found in the document
“Application note - Multiple logger control”.

 5.5 Configuring the Bus Interfaces
The individual bus interfaces must be properly configured to guarantee correct sending
and receiving over the various buses. This chapter gives an overview of the necessary
bus-specific settings. Note that, for a complete configuration file (.lcg) , you also need
to set the general configuration parameters (see General Configuration Settings).

5.5.1 FlexRay interface

Complete the following steps to configure a FlexRay interface:
1. Click on the hyperlink "here" in the header line to load a FIBEX file. This will cause
all of the FlexRay parameters to be loaded from the FIBEX file and displayed. You
can change these parameters at any time, or even configure the interface
completely by hand. Note, however, that an invalid (erroneous) configuration
cannot be saved, because automatic consistency checks are conducted during
saving. This dialog can also be opened by selecting Database Files FlexRay
from the bus interface list.
2. Enter a Name for theinterface.
3. Select Enabled to activate this interface.
4. Receive Only: When this checkbox is selected, neither the controller nor the bit-
stream decoder can send data. This protects the communication against
disturbances caused by illicitly sending components. When the checkbox is not
selected, transmission is allowed; e.g., for a controller to send sync frames and
start-up frames during cold start, or for user code (see below for details about
transmission slot configuration).
5. Select the Mode. If you select the Bitstream Decoder mode, you need only set
the Speed parameter. You need neither upload any FIBEX files, nor set additional
parameters because no extensive syntax checks are conducted in this case. Note:
For FlexRay channels 2 and 3, only Controller mode is supported and FIBEX
database must be assigned for FlexRay channels 2 and 3. Otherwise, the logging
on those interfaces cannot be performed.
6. Select the FlexRay Channel.
7. Select the transmission speed (Speed).
8. Bus Idle Detection and Wakeup (only supported for FlexRay channel 1) are part
of the Power Management configuration and are described there.
Note, however, that the FlexRay wakeup symbols (WUSs) are recorded differently,
depending on the state of the logger. For example, if 10 WUSs are sent to the
logger, the resulting output in the trace file is as follows:
- Logger in state LOGGING or in The first WUS is recorded as Collision
active standby: Avoidance Symbol (CAS), the subsequent
9 as wakeup patterns (WUPs). This is in
accordance with the FlexRay specification
2.1 rev. A, section "Symbol Decoding".
- Logger in passive standby: No WUSs are recorded at all because the
logger's controller startup time is longer
than the 10 WUSs.

 9. Mandatory – if this checkbox is enabled, the logger shall deny start logging if this
interface is not available. Otherwise, the logger just ignores (and does not record)
this interface if it’s not available on this logger. This option is available only in Expert
mode.

5.5.1.1 Mode
Bitstream Decoder
• The frame CRC is checked
• The exact reason for content and syntax errors is detected
• The length of FlexRay symbols on the bus can be measured in the start-up or sync
phase.
• Asynchronous recording of data (only for FlexRay)

Controller
• Can detect boundary violations
• Can record data synchronously (only for FlexRay)
5.5.1.2 Configuring FlexRay transmission slots
FlexRay transmission slots (Tx-slots) are needed for communication between the
logger and FlexRay ECUs by means of user code. As this user code requires its own
sending slots, some of the initial settings differ from those described above for frame
reception. The differences are:
• Deselect Receive only to enable transmission. This activates the Transmission
slots area in the parameter window.

TTTech - Confidential
PM-200 User Manual © 2010 - 2022 TTTech Auto

36
 • Set Mode to either Controller or Controller and Bitstream Decoder. Note that
the Bitstream Decoder is not able to send, so if you select only Bitstream
Decoder, all slots are deleted and the Transmission slots area isdisabled.

To add a transmission slot(FlexRayTxSlot), click in the Transmission

slots area. Then edit the parameters of the created slot according to the
following constraints:
• Slot:
a) The slot number must be unique withinthe cluster.
b) 0 <Slot <= MIN(NumberOfStaticSlots+NumberOfMinislots,MAX
(NumberOfStaticSlots,MIN(LatestTx,7980)))
c) Correspondingly, LatestTx is limited by 0 < LatestTx <= 7980.
• Channel: Must match the above selected value of the overall FlexRay Channel
parameter:
a) If the overall channel is A, the FlexRayTxSlot channel must also be A
b) If the overall channel is B, the FlexRayTxSlot channel must also be B
c) If the overall channel is A and B, the FlexRayTxSlot channel can be A, B, or A
and B in the static segment (i.e., Slot <= NumberOfStaticSlots), and A or B in
the dynamic segment.
• Preamble: Select the checkbox to add a FlexRay preamble to the
frames transmitted in this slot.
• Repetition: Allowed values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.
• Base Cycle: 0 <= BaseCycle < Repetition

 When you have finished editing, click Save at the bottom of the window to save
theslot in the configuration. If your settings are inconsistent, the automatic validity
check will fail and a warning will be issued.
To delete a transmission slot, click on the "X"-button at the end of the desired row.

5.5.1.3 Known restrictions

When analyzing a .ttl trace file that was recorded in "Controller and Bitstream
Decoder" mode it can happen that you see two entries of the same frame, which is
detected by the controller as "content error" or "boundary violation", while the Bitstream
Decoder detects a valid data frame. This is because the Bitstream Decoder does not
(and shall not!) check timing problems on the FlexRay bus.
One possible reason for the combination "controller reports content error / decoder
reports valid frame" might be that the parameters of the dynamic segment or the
clock correction parameters are inconsistent in the FlexRay network or wrong in the
logger.
One possible reason for the combination "controller reports boundary violation /
decoder reports valid frame" might be that the parameters of the static segment or
the clock correction parameters are inconsistent in the FlexRay network or wrong in
the logger.

5.5.12 CAN Extension Board

The PM-200 provides a slot for a (separately sold) CAN Extension Board, which
provides 12 additional CAN interfaces (channel 13 - 24). For a general
configuration description see Section CAN.
The technical functionality of these channels is, however, limited as compared to that
of the integrated CAN channels:
• Only "Bitstream Decoder" mode supported.
• These interfaces are preconfigured as receive-only. However, you can allow the
sending of acknowledgments as an exception by enabling Acknowledgment (in
contrast to the standard CAN channels, where this is only possible if "Receive
Only" is disabled).
• No power management (Bus Idle Detection, Wakeup/Sleep).

 5.5.13 Virtual CAN
Virtual CAN is used to map a bus interface to Virtual CAN Messages in a 1:1
fashion to make them accessible to CANoe. The logger supports this mapping for
Analog In, Digital In, Serial, and Clamps.
Storing data as virtual CAN is activated by selecting the Enable checkbox of the
respective bus interface. In normal operation mode, the following predefined values
are used for the virtual CAN messages:
• ID:
- 315 and 330 for Clamp15 and Clamp30
- 401 and 406 for Serial 1 - 6
- 201 to 215 for Digital In 1 - 15
- 101 to 115 for Analog In 1 - 15
• Message Format: Standard
• CAN channel: 32

These values can be changed in Expert Mode. To activate the parameters of the Virtual
CAN group box by selecting Enable inside the box (see Figure below). Edit them
according to the following constraints:
• Id: The CAN message ID (11 bits or 29 bits, depending on the Message
Format). Message Format: Format of the CAN message, i.e., Standard or
Extended.
• Channel: Virtual CAN channel (13 - 32, as CANoe currently only supports
max. 32 channels).
• The combination of Channel and Id must be unique throughout the
configuration file.

suffix _NoCAN1.
• Name assignment is done according to the following schema when a trace file is
split:
Part<X>_<DateTime>+<Duration>_<Filters>.
• If the checkbox Create files from markers is selected in addition, the marker
name is added as prefixto the file name.
With the option Keep Start Timestamp when splitting Files you can preserve the
original start time of each trace part, so that its correlation with the analysis of the main
trace file can always be determined.

4. Click on Start Conversion.

Split by Marker
In case of single-file conversion, you can split the trace file by markers before conversion.
You have to specify a time interval by either selecting one marker or time with Pre

Time and/or Post Time, or selecting two markers (Pre Time and Post Time are then
optional). For multiple file conversion, see Section Conversion of Multiple Files

Note: The markers are stored both in a journal file (.jou) and in the trace file itself. Both
files must be in the same folder here. If the journal file is no longer available, its trace file
can be searched for, using the Search Markers button. This process can take a long
time for large trace files. Whether a journal file exists makes no difference for the parts
of trace files described below.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Disabled when the Streaming mode (DataForward) is switched on.

6.9 Storage Media

Recorded data can be stored on various storage media (see Logger Manager, "Data
Recording").
• Removable storage (SSD): with Linux-based file system.
• USB storage media: Can be used in an arbitrary USB slot. Note that you cannot
use USB hubs, only direct connections between the logger and a USB flash drive.

Also we recommend to only use the USB1 slot for logging. USB0 should be reserved
for firmware updates (see Section Firmware Update) because the logger always tries
to boot from USB0, even in case of a simple restart or a wakeup from standby mode.
This can lead to errors, if only "storage" is found at this port.

6.9.1 Selecting the Storage Medium

Before you start to record data, you have to select the storage
medium. To select the storage medium:
• Select Media → Select → <Storage medium> in the main menu. The trace files
are stored on the selected storage medium. The selected storage medium is
displayed in the main menu in the upper left corner of the display.
After plugging in a medium, it takes at most 2 s before it is visible in the list on the
display. Likewise it takes at most 2 s after unplugging before the medium vanishes
from the list.

TTTech - Confidential
PM-200 User Manual © 2010 - 2022 TTTech Auto

77
 Note that storage media of the same type can have different names on the display
depending on whether they are attached directly to the logger or to the remote
control.
• USB0/USB1: External USB storage medium on the logger
• USB2/USB3: External USB storage medium on the remote control
• Removable storage (SSD): SSD storage on the logger
• CFR: CF card on the remote control
This is also the order of appearance on the display. Note that CFR is thus displayed in
the next line of the menu!
Important note: The user is responsible to provide storage medium with write speed
sufficient for all input data to be written in real time. The best scenario would be using a USB
storage device in a 3.0 standard (with a theoretical bitrate up to 625 MB/s).

6.9.2 Formatting Storage Media

The formatting of storage media is in principle only necessary when the medium is
faulty (i.e. data recording does not function) or when the stored data should be 'hard'
deleted.
To format a storage medium:
1. Select Media Format <storage medium> in the main menu (if the Media
menu item is not visible, use the '' key to display it).
2. Press OK. All of the data on the storage medium are deleted.

6.9.3 Checking Storage Media

The file system of a storage medium should be checked if the medium possibly is in
an inconsistent state (e.g., if data recording does not work, or if clamp 30 was
disconnected during the previous recording).
To check and – if necessary – also restore the file system:
• Select Media → Check → <storage medium> in the main menu (if the Media
menu item is not visible, use the '' key to display it). The progress of the
checking/ restoring process is shown in % on the display.
Note: In contrast to the Format function, with which the storage medium is
completely reformatted and all data is lost, Check does not delete any data, unless
absolutely necessary for the recovery of the file system (e.g., in case of
damaged/corrupt files).

 6.10 Data Recording
An active configuration and a receptive storage medium are prerequisites for data
recording. When the configuration is missing, a (non-functional) default configuration
is created, which contains only a header. It can be activated, but not started, hence no
trace file generation is possible. If no storage medium is selected, the integrated SSD
storage is used automatically.
To start recording data:
Press the START/STOP key on the logger's front panel.
To terminate data recording:
Press the START/STOP key again.
You can retrieve the remaining storage space on the selected medium with Monitor
→ SysInfo → DiskUse or Media→ DiskUse.
Data recording is done using an internal DRAM as cache. The DRAM's fill level is
shown via a line between the first and second lines on the display during the recording
procedure. This information gives the user feedback about how long the device needs
to store the data (the higher the fill level, the longer is required).
Note: Do not switch off the device until the DRAM is completely emptied!

You can press the Mark button during recording to provide relevant events with a
mark that later facilitates finding this place in the trace file. The number of marked
events in a recording session is displayed in the display's first line ('X MARKS'). This
counter remains visible after the termination of recording. It is reset to 0 only when a
new recording begins.
In a case, if the DataForward option is selected, which means that the streaming
option is available instead of the classic recording. For streaming, the user has to
configure it in the configuration tool in the section General Configuration/Data
Storage. There is an option to choose Storage Type DataForward and set IP
address and forward port for streaming. Streaming works in the same way as
Recording, but instead of storing TTL frames to storage media, it converts TTL
frames to ALF frames and sends them to the networked media pointed by IP address
and port configured in LCG. Streaming does not produce JOU files.

voltage of clamp15 and clamp 30 (Voltage), and a number of system parameters, e.g.,
disk space, RAM usage, etc. (SysInfo).

The "Monitor" menu

6.11.1 Bus Status

During data recording (state LOGGING), the bus status can be accessed via
Monitor→ BusStatus. The Bus Status menu displays information about all
supported bus systems. In any other logger state, this menu does not contain
any information.
Below each bus system there are two fields which are updated in real time and
display the bus status of the past second. Depending on the displayed characters,
they can provide the following information:
• x x: The bus interface is not used/configured in the current logger
configuration.
• _ _: The bus interface is configured, but no data frames or error frames were
received in the past second.

 7 Using the Remote Control
The remote control is delivered with a 5 m long cable. This is the maximum tested length at
which data transmission still functions flawlessly. The cable is equipped with non-
interchangeable circular plugs. There is a push-pull plug on the logger so that the plug cannot
be pulled out by unintentional cable pulling. On the remote control side, there is a plug with
an additional screw lock.
A sticker with version and serial numbers – similar to the logger's – is located on the
underside of the remote control.
Current is supplied via the logger's power supply. The logger need not be switched on for
this. You can find exact technical data in the Technical Data - Remote Control chapter.
The remote control has the same display, keys, and LEDs as the logger's front panel,
only in a somewhat different arrangement. Therefore, please refer to the Using the
Logger's Front Panel chapter for a detailed description.

Features
• The remote control has a CF card slot and two USB attachments. The storage media
must be plugged in with more than the usual force. This prevents their being shaken
loose during trip operation.

• Storage media that are connected to the remote control have a different identification
on the display (Media Select <storage medium>) than those connected to the logger,
namely USB2, USB3, and CFR. However, all media currently connected to one of the two
devices are always displayed on both displays (scroll with CHECK). Note that, as for the
logger itself, you cannot use USB hubs, only direct connections between the remote control
and a USB flash drive.

• The key lock can be separately activated and deactivated for the remote control and
the logger. See Key Lock.
• If the cable between the remote control and the logger is not connected properly it
can happen that the remote control is supplied with power, but no communication is
possible. In this case the message "Display not connected to TTX-
DataLogger" is shown on the remote control's display, and all its LEDs except
"Power" are dark. Please check the connectors at both ends.

Note: No backup is performed during factory reset – all data will be lost (also the
license file is deleted!).

9.4 Updating individual Software Packages

Instead of the entire firmware, you can also update individual software packages. To do
this, proceed as follows:
1. Store the code to be executed as shell scripts (.sh) in the folder /updates on an
arbitrary storage medium (for example: /SSD/updates)
2. On the logger's front panel select the corresponding medium (Media → Select →
<storage medium>, see SectionSelecting the Storage Medium).
3. In the main menuselect System Update. The logger then searches the selected
storage medium for shell scripts in the folder /updates.
4. Select the desired script and execute it with [OK] or [F4].
Using this procedure you can, for example, copy configurations, install user applications
in the field, or similar. A detailed description of the update functionality can be found in

 11 Development Environment for User Code
User code or – in compiled form – user-generated applications are generally used to
reprocess data 'live'. For instance, recorded data can be forwarded to a PC directly over
Ethernet or stored in a particular format, or an LED can blink when an event occurs. It is
also possible to a limited degree to send data to the bus interfaces (CAN, etc.) to configure
or calibrate the control devices. This section describes the installation of the necessary
development environment, as well as use of the included examples.

11.1 Eclipse Development Environment Preparation

For establishing of the development environment, the user needs Eclipse and Cygwin. On
the working PC system, Java Runtime Environment should be installed. If it is not, the user
is prompted to download it from the Internet.
Prerequisites
1. The PM-200 must be connected to the PC on which Eclipse shall be installed; either
directly with a cable or through a LAN network.
2. The PM-200 must be powered up. The name of the device or its IP address must be
known.
3. An Internet connection must be established, if Java JRE is not installed.

Setup procedure
The user can download JRE from the next location:
https://www.java.com/en/download/

TTTech - Confidential
PM-200 User Manual © 2010 - 2022 TTTech Auto

96
 After installation is finished, put the JRE path to the Path variables in Windows OS:

Settings in Windows for User variables and press Edit button

When Edit button is pressed add path for JAVA JRE bin folder

Download the Cygwin, from the next location: http://www.cygwin.com/install.html

After the download, install it with the following packages:

Installation of Cygwin and additional packages

TTTech - Confidential
PM-200 User Manual © 2010 - 2022 TTTech Auto

97
 If necessary, additional packages can also be installed later by running the Cygwin setup
again.

Put the Cygwin path to the Path variables in the first place.

For the mapping of the logger, you need to run the map_network_x script (can be
delivered from the Service team, by request).

After is script started, open Putty or some similar SSH/Telnet client. Connect to the
logger with this tool:

PuTTY Configuration for connection on the logger

The password for the developer is TTX-d!

After you reach in Developer folder, create a .ssh directory and copy
authorized_keys file to it. Change the permission of the file, with chmod 600
comands.

Making of .ssh directory, coping of authorized_keys file and changing of permission

This file contains the key that will be used later.

The next step should be the installation of the Eclipse IDE. The latest one could
be downloaded from https://www.eclipse.org/

When you select which version of the Eclipse want to install, select Eclipse IDE for
C/C++ Developers:

 10. Build a project

When building the project for the first time it is necessary to connect to the logger
with putty. After, in the project directory, create a directory called build. Enter the
directory and type in the following:
cmake.. or ccmake..

After these steps, it is possible to make the project, either directly over putty or
through the Eclipse IDE, which will be explained later.

Where developer stands for the PM200 user, 192.168.240.91 is the PM200 IP
address and C:/Users/…/id_rsa is the path to the key which is used in the file
authorized_keys (ProjDirPath variable should already exist and it represents the
path to the project on the PM200 Data Logger).

The user needs to add in the Build property the next words: all install (there is a
blank space between all and install).

 Using user code with the remote debugger
For command-line applications, such as process_file_demo, start this with the
settings below. To start applications that read the live stream directly via the bus
interface, such as count_frames, proceed as follows:
• Select the configuration file to startyour application
(<!UserAppStartMode>!StartOnSystemStart</!UserAppStar
tMode>).

• Go to the 'User I/O' menu on the logger's display and use 'Stop' to stop the
application.
• Restart the application with the debugger.

11.2 User Code Examples

Two example applications are currently delivered with the PM-200:
• count_frames
• process_file_demo

count_frames
This application shows a use case for using the live data stream. It also contains a
simple matching configuration.

To use the application, import it into Eclipse (see Project and Compiler Settings), open
it, and right-click on it. You see three compiler versions in the context menu:
• demo compiles a binary file.
• doxygen creates the application's simple API documentation.
• install compiles the binary file and installs (copies) it to the right place together
with the included configuration.

TTTech - Confidential
PM-200 User Manual © 2010 - 2022 TTTech Auto

111
 To use this example application:
• Select 'install' to compile and install theapplication.
• Go to the Config menu on the logger display and
activate the
DEMO_Sample_All_counting_frames.lcg configuration using Activate.
• Then go to the User I/O menu, where you can see that the application is ready for
data recording.
• Press Start on the logger and go back to the User I/O menu.
• Here you should now see how the application counts the frames received.

process_file_demo
This is a command-line application to analyze trace files (.ttl) off-line. As soon as you
have compiled it with the 'demo' option (see above), you must open an SSH console
(see Eclipse Development Environment Preparation).
Navigate to the compiled application's directory
cd /home/developer/usercode_demos/process_file_demo
and start this:
./process_file.bin
You will now be prompted to enter a trace file name:
./process_file.bin /media/SSD/<filename>.ttl
You can, for instance, use the trace file that you have created with the count_frames
application.
The process_file_demo application now reads the entire trace file and creates a
summarizing statistic about the frames' content.

Based on the current state of knowledge, it is impossible to develop defect-free software
in any application. Therefore, the product may be used only as described in this manual.
PM-200 uses semi-conductor components. Semiconductor components have an inherent
failure probability. The user must take appropriate safety measures, possibly including but
not limited to, redundancy, fire protection, and protection against overcurrent and other
abnormal operating conditions, to avoid injury, damage or loss through such failures.

 18 Safety instructions
The PM-200 must be treated and operated as herein described to protect the device or the
application from damage and to avoid personal injury. Modifying the PM-200 is prohibited.
TTTech provides no warranty of any kind if these obligations are violated.
Read this user manual carefully and follow the instructions.

18.1 Risk disclosure statement

Only persons who sufficiently understand the possible consequences of using the PM- 200
may use this product. The user acknowledges that it is possible to influence or inspect a
networked electronic system with the PM-200 and that such actions can lead to personal
injury or material damage.
If the PM-200 is integrated into a network system, the user must take safety aspects into
consideration and take measures so that no personal injuries or material damages arise
in case of an error or a malfunction in the PM-200's software or in its hardware.
The PM-200 belongs to the test tools group. A malfunction of the system to be tested
cannot be 100% ruled out during use of the device. Use of the product is done at the
user's own risk.

18.2 Environment and warnings

Secure the device and its surroundings against overcurrent for safety reasons and to avoid
damage to the PM-200, as well as consequential damages or personal injuries. See
Technical Data for details and reassure yourself that all of the values lie within the specified
range.
Moreover, the PM-200 may not:
• be used or operated outside of its permissible temperature range, because such
operation causes undefined behavior;
• be used next to heat sources such as open fires, radiators, or ovens. This is to avoid
damage to the PM-200;
• be deployed in areas where fire-prone or explosive gas mixtures can occur, or in other
applications in which an operational malfunction could cause death, personal injuries
or serious material damages;
• be exposed to water.
• be exposed to external mechanical hazard. Particularly note that the display is not
protected by shatter-proof glass. Protect the PM-200 itself against falling down or
being tossed around (e.g., in the trunk of the vehicle), as well as all objects that could
hit the PM-200 by falling down or being tossed around.

 18.3 Intended Use
Appropriate usage of the PM-200 / PR-200 / PT-15B/ PT-20MG:
This testing product is only intended to be used in testing vehicles within company
premises or in testing vehicles with prototype approval. Interference with vehicle buses
when operating the testing vehicles can be ruled out by appropriate configuration, for
which the user is responsible for. When configuring, particular attention has to be paid
that the operational safety (steering, breaks, drive, lighting) is not influenced or interfered
by sent messages. Configurations can only be modified, exchanged or activated under
the control of the user using the GUI or the remote API via Ethernet. If a configuration is
activated and the measurement is running, it is not possible to change the configuration.
Therefore, TTTech recommends for operating safely, to start a configuration or a
measurement with the testing product before starting the drive and to stop the
measurement only after the vehicle comes to a standstill. TTTech assumes no liability for
any damage caused by inappropriate operation (e.g. installation to serial vehicles that
are generally approved for public traffic) or by an incorrect configuration.
