1. Replay Mode:

There are two modes of Replay Single Run -All the messages in the file will be replayed only once. Cyclic - The messages in the file will be replayed cyclically.

2. Time Mode:

The time delay can be set to control the delay between two consecutive messages and between two consecutive replay of the same file.

The following field controls delays Recorded time delay in the log file Time delay between messages. Time delay between cycles – Applicable for only cyclic mode.

Time delay 1 and 2 are mutually exclusive irrespective of replay mode. This time delay is the time duration between transmission of two consecutive messages. The minimum time delay (in milliseconds) is one millisecond.

On clicking the OK button a Message Replay Window will be displayed. This will contain all messages in the replay file. By default first message in the replay window will be selected. Please see section Replay a File for further details.

User can configure to replay all message logged or only transmitted message or only received message by selecting the option from Replay Message Type. It can be done during configuration of replay.

PC-side Replay and Device Offline Replay

The standard replay function sends messages from the PC through BUSMASTER. BUSMUST devices may also provide offline replay in BUSMUST Advanced Features. Offline replay stores the task in the device so the replay can continue without depending on the PC timing loop.

Use standard replay when you need to inspect and adjust a log interactively. Use offline replay when the device should repeat a known traffic pattern independently after the configuration has been downloaded.
