New Data Loggers Offer CAN, LIN and FlexRay Channels
Vector is now offering the new data recorders GL3000/4000/4200 for both automotive and non-automotive applications. Test engineers can use these devices to acquire bus data from up to eight CAN, eight LIN and two FlexRay channels in parallel. Users may select to have the logged data read out over WLAN, USB, Ethernet or UMTS.
Vector is extending its logger line-up by adding professional tools for users who need to record, in parallel, messages from different bus systems for later evaluation. The GL3000 makes it convenient to receive, filter and record CAN and LIN bus messages. In addition, this logger can record internal ECU parameters over CCP/XCP-on-CAN. The GL4000 and GL4200 loggers offer the same functionality plus support for FlexRay and XCP-on-FlexRay. All loggers save receive data from analog inputs and are easy to operate.
The loggers are stand-alone devices for challenging tasks. They exhibit low current consumption in Sleep Mode, and are well-suited for continuous use in vehicles. They are also operational after a short start time of 40 ms, so they can record the system start. These two properties make the new loggers ideal for use in test fleets.
The devices are very easy to configure, and configuration is performed with flexible software. The devices are also ideal for creating classing tables. The generated log files can be evaluated with the Vector tools CANoe, CANalyzer or CANape in later offline analysis.
An extensive assortment of accessories is available for the GL3000/4000/4200 loggers; customized software and hardware modifications in the context of contract projects round out our services in this area.
