Filters & Search

Filtering in TrueFidelity happens inside the panels you use most: Signal Viewer, Network Traffic, Signal Chart, and Signal Player. This guide shows how to narrow data in each view.

Signal Viewer Search

The Signal Viewer (left) supports fast signal discovery:

• Search box filters frames and signals by name or ID.
• All / Active / Selected toggles focus the list:
• All shows every decoded signal.
• Active shows signals currently receiving data.
• Selected shows only signals you have checked.
• Checkbox selection controls which signals appear in Signal Chart.

Example

1. Type speed to filter down to speed-related signals.
2. Switch to Active to confirm which signals are updating.
3. Check two signals to compare them in Signal Chart.

Network Traffic Filters

The Network Traffic panel (top right) is the frame table:

• Filter by CAN ID or data narrows results by ID or payload text.
• Bus dropdown limits results to a specific bus (CAN, CAN1, CAN2).
• Live toggle pauses/resumes the incoming stream without clearing data.

Use Clear to empty the table and Export to save the filtered view.

Example

• Filter by ID: enter 0x101 or 101 to isolate a frame.
• Filter by payload: enter AA FF to find matching payload bytes.

Signal Chart Controls

Signal Chart is driven by selected signals:

• Time window controls how much history is visible.
• Auto-scale toggles dynamic Y-axis bounds.
• Pause freezes updates while you inspect values.
• Clear All removes all plotted signals.

When troubleshooting, pause the chart to compare two time regions without losing context.

Signal Player Filters

Signal Player provides tree filtering inside Networks:

• Search networks, frames, signals refines the tree view.
• All / Selected / Matches narrows the tree to selected or dataset-matched signals.
• Auto-select channels helps map dataset channels to each network quickly.

Use Matches after running Inspect bundle to confirm which signals align with the dataset.

Tips for Efficient Filtering

• Start broad in Signal Viewer, then narrow to Active and Selected.
• Use Network Traffic filters to verify payloads before charting.
• Keep Signal Chart paused while inspecting value changes or comparing signals.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Signal Chart is empty	Select signals in Signal Viewer.
Network Traffic shows nothing	Ensure the system is running and Live is enabled.
"Matches" is empty in Signal Player	Confirm the DBC file matches the dataset frames.

Next Steps

• Continue to Playback for dataset setup and streaming controls.
• Visit UI Tour to see each panel in context.
