MF4 to MF4 converter

The MF4 to MF4 converter performs finalization & sorting (for wider tool support). In addition, the converter supports demuxing of CANmod.router mux frames.

Some tools natively support unfinalized/unsorted MF4, while others require that the files are first finalized and sorted:

Vector CANalyzer supports only finalized & sorted MF4 files (from SP2). Alternatively use the MF4 to ASC converter.
MATLAB Vehicle Network Toolbox (VNT) supports unfinalized & unsorted MF4 files (from 2021b).

Note

The CANedge stores data in unfinalized and unsorted MF4 files[1].

Additional input arguments

The converter supports demuxing of CANmod.router frames (for more information see MUX-TP and the CANmod.router documentation).

The configuration of demuxing is provided using the muxtp input argument.

--muxtp-can<CHANNEL>=<MESSAGE_ID>#<S1>:<S2>:<S3>:<S4>

CHANNEL: Mux message channel in decimal format.
MESSAGE_ID: Mux message ID in hexadecimal format. Use 3 or 8 digits for standard or extended IDs respectively.
S1-S4: Virtual channel mappings in decimal format.

Warning

The output channels (S1-S4) cannot be the same as the input channel (CHANNEL).

Examples

Map mux messages from CAN2 with standard ID 0x010 to virtual channels 11, 12, 13, 14:

--muxtp-can2=010#11:12:13:14

Map mux messages from CAN2 with standard IDs 0x010 and 0x012 to virtual channels 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, 8, 10, 11:

--muxtp-can2=010#3:4:5:6 --muxtp-can2=012#7:8:10:11

Map mux messages from CAN1 with extended ID 0x18FDA101 to virtual channels 11, 12, 13, 14:

--muxtp-can1=18FDA101#11:12:13:14
