how to create a file to load into playback window?

[dieselnutjob]

Hi
In the instructions under "Playback window" it says "A playback item can either come from a file (Load File) or...", but, I can't find any instructions on how to create such a file.
When I was capturing frames I remember two options to save to text or csv.
The csv file doesn't seem to have any payload, so I guess that the text option is the one to go for if I want to play them back?

Here is one of my saved files.

is this the right format to load back into the Playback window?

Nope, that's not the right format. On the main screen until the file menu the third entry down should be "Save Log File". You capture traffic then use that to save it to file. From there you can load it again any time by using the first entry in the file menu "Load Log File" or you can load it in the playback window to play it back on a CAN bus.

thanks that worked.
Is it possible to save a log file of just the last packets (the ones visible on the screen) when viewing packets in overwrite mode?
It's a lot easier to edit a file to make a playback file when there's just a few entries rather than thousands of lines.
