Binary Logging Format Library for Python
Introduction
A Python library for reading and writing BLF files, a proprietary binary logging format of Vector Informatik GmbH. BLF files are commonly used in automotive logging and testing scenarios.
Installation
pip install vblf
Usage
Reading BLF Files
from vblf.can import CanMessage, CanMessage2
from vblf.reader import BlfReader
# Open a BLF file
with BlfReader("example.blf") as reader:
# Iterate through all objects in the file
for obj in reader:
print(f"Type: {obj.header.base.object_type.name}")
print(f"Timestamp: {obj.header.object_time_stamp}")
# Handle CAN messages
if isinstance(obj, (CanMessage, CanMessage2)):
print(f"CAN ID: {obj.id}")
print(f"Data: {obj.data.hex()}")
Writing BLF Files
from vblf.can import CanMessage
from vblf.writer import BlfWriter
# Create a new BLF file
with BlfWriter("output.blf") as writer:
# Create a CAN message
msg = CanMessage(...)
# Write the message to the file
writer.write(msg)
