Is there a "Getting Started" description availible. I want to load my project In CubeMonitor like in former STM-Studio and show variables on the dashboard and want to log it. The Youtube instruction I found is more for user, who knows the tool.

Thank you.

If you want to get the "Basic_Flow", you can use the menu "import", select the tab "Library" , and import STM32CubeMonitor_BasicFlow.json

You can follow the procedure described in this wiki for a first test : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/STM32CubeMonitor:How_to_configure_mandatory_parameters_before_acquisition

Hello

In addition to wiki, this video should be interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTJhqHWniZE&feature=youtu.be

0693W000004JlE9QAK.pngHello Stephane,

I don't have the exapmle configuration anymore, so I started my own configuration. For example, how do I get start the data aquisition?

I configured the Probs and variable files as described on the Youtube video, but after the "Deploy" button and the "Dashboard", the Graph is very small and the Start/Stop Button has no effect.

Therefor, I thought an introduction manaul, how to configure each node for a basic configuration would be helpfull.

Or how do I get the "Basic_Flow" configuration back?

I have some more questions:

  1. In the Help for each Node is only the Keyword {{msg.topic}} is displayed. There is no information about what it can be. Is there a list of keywords?

  1. Can I arrange the graphs in the Dashbord free or should I select due the Size.g. 4x4
  2. Can I save a configuration only due "export" or can I save one configuration seperatly?

After I loged the variabels via "Log all values" I want to analyse them in IMC FAMOS. The format of the logging date is very different as it was in STM Studio.

Can I take the "old STM Studio" format? It was a CSV, which I can import in IMC FAMOS or Excel.

Hello.

The tool is saving in stcm format, but we have a flow to convert the stcm in csv. Please, see this post https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00000A3HEASA3/how-can-i-to-store-variables-into-a-csv-log-file

To answer your points :

1 - your are looking for the help of the standard button ( not specific to CubeMonitor ) , to know the list of inputs you have to look at the following nodes which will use this topic ( for example acq out node )

2- Yes you can : https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00000EFy0ASAT/how-to-layout-dashboard-components-as-a-whole

3 - I'm not sure to understand : what configuration are you talking about ? your flow ? your logs ? you selected variables ?
