Data Cache Disk Streaming provides a fast way to save large amounts of unfiltered data in a binary format (vsb) message buffer file.  This feature can be accessed using the Vehicle Spy Setup main menu or the dropdown button next to the Data Directory button as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: The dropdown button next to Data Directory can be clicked to see Data Cache selections.

To enable or disable Data Cache Disk Streaming, use the setup dialog checkbox or the "Data Cache On" dropdown list selection while Vehicle Spy is offline.  Once enabled, all network traffic will be streamed to disk anytime Vehicle Spy is running.  Data is saved in a binary format (vsb) file in the Vehicle Spy 3\DataCache directory with a specific date and timestamp.  A new data cache file is created each time Vehicle Spy transitions from offline to online while Data Cache Disk Streaming is enabled.

If more advanced buffer capture features are needed then Capture type function blocks can be used instead.
