Leverage MATLAB's CAN toolbox or tailored scripts to transform Canalyzer's .blf data into a structured format within MATLAB.

I understand this response is coming much later than the question, but hopefully it will be useful to users searching the same topic in the future.
The blfread function of Vehicle Network Toolbox supports reading BLF-Files since R2019a.
Here is a link to documentation.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rich

Here is answer to you question. This module is Called CanLoad and is created by Reid Steiger in Ford. I have attached the files you will need. Here is how it operates.
  • Unzip the folder contents
  • Put all the files that I have attached here in a folder.
  • Use dbc2ModuleBatch.p file to convert your .dbc files into these four files namely --> can_module_ext.mGetAsciiMessageFilterList.m , identify_DBC_Name.m , module_dbcname.m.
  • Place all the above newly files in the directory that contains the .blf files and add to the Matlab path.
  • Run CanLoad.p , this requires an input that is full name and path of the file.

To convert a .blf file (Canalyzer) into a Matlab structure, use dedicated tools or scripts for BLF file parsing.

Hi, actually there is a tool to convert blf to mdf format inside CANalzyer. Then you can easily acess all signals using the Vehicle Network Toolbox or mdfVisualizer.

Remember that the specific steps and functionalities might vary depending on the version of Canalyzer, CanLoad, and MATLAB you're using. Refer to the official documentation and online resources for detailed instructions.
