Hi,
It would be nice to be able to highlight sections of a recording different colours, or shades of the profile colour. Here we can then see sections quickly as per the shading we define when selecting the UART log.
I.e. Highlight UART text and right-click menu “colour”
We could even have a “note” that goes with this ‘section’ of the recording.
Phil.
Hi Phil,
Thank you for your improvement suggestion!
Just to understand you correctly.
Do you propose that you can select a part of the graph, choose another color/different shade of the color, and then the UART log should follow this?
This goes in both directions, i.e you can also select in the UART log and change color in the graph.
Best regards,
Björn
Yes. A bit like this:
This was made by a customer creating multiple recordings and cutting out the sections. Must have taken a lot of fiddling!
Anyway, a picture says a thousand words, so if we could highlight the UART log and then be able to charnge the colour of that, we could then see instantly the various sections.
In this example it’s our SARA-R4 LTE module; with Boot, scan, attach, send HTTP request, shutdown.
You might be able to get to have this ‘feature’ by simply being able to “Cut & Paste” in to another recording. Do you know what I mean?
Regards,
Phil.
Hi,
I have been feeling that the Arc UART logging is not working as well as the current profiling window.
For example:
I don’t understand why I would have a Time of 13467 after the Time of 81176?
Also sometimes it feels like the UART messages are being ‘buffered’ ? I.e. I send the AT commands, but they only appear in the Otii log after I pull out and re-insert the UART pin?
Weird
One other thing that definitely doesn’t work is that the UART log does not follow the Offset you can apply to the profiles. I.e. If I shift the profile Left or Right by X amount to line the profiles up together the Arc UART is not shifted. Therefore I can no longer match the AT commands with the profile – making it useless.
I can add these to your forum if you would like?
Best regards,
Phil.
Hi Phil,
Thank you for this post!
Your first issue, with not having the time in order must be a bug. Could you create a case in our case system and include as much information as possible there and I will look into this in more detail.
Your second issue, do you send CR/LF with your UART messages?
If there is a CR/LF missing, the message will appear when recording stops or UART RX is pulled out and re-inserted.
Your third issue is strange. When I make a selection and choose to offset recording, then UART messages is also time shifted. Does this not happen for you? If not, I also here would like you to create a case since there is a strange bug that we need to sort out.
Best regards,
Björn
Just want to chime in and say that being able to colour code sections of a log and add notes is an excellent idea and I would definitely use this. Would make sharing logs between coworkers much more streamlined. Philware’s custom made graph looks amazing and I can appreciate how tricky it was to get that. Also working with NB-IoT boards.
Just registering my interest in this feature. The ability to annotate and possibly set up named bookmarks would be very useful when sharing traces…
