MF4 to ASC converter (Vector)

The MF4 to ASC converter converts raw MF4 files to ASC files supported by various tools, such as CANalyzer and CANape.

Warning

Vector’s SP2 update adds support for finalized MF4 files (see MF4 to MF4 converter). When possible, it is recommended to use finalized MF4 files for improved speed and size.

Example output

An input MF4 log file containing both CAN and LIN-bus frames generates two output files as demonstrated by the examples below.
