DATA LOGGERS

A data logger (also datalogger or data recorder) is an electronic device that records data over time or in relation to location either with a built in instrument or sensor or via external instruments and sensors. Increasingly, but not entirely, they are based on a digital processor (or computer).

Features:

They generally are small, battery powered, portable, and equipped with a microprocessor, internal memory for data storage, and sensors. Some data loggers interface with a personal computer and utilize software to activate the data logger and view and analyze the collected data.

High speed vehicle data logging

It is a complete vehicle data logger; data can be collected from the vehicle OBD port, J1939 or an extended development protocol such as xCP and CCP.provides the software required to configure the Rebel xt and to analyze the data in one intuitive package.

Typical Applications:1.Vehicle test drives – OBD mode

If you run vehicle tests and need additional engine data alongside your instrumentation then the Rebel xt vehicle data logger will help. As an OBD logger, most of the additional data you require can be acquired without the need for additional instrumentation.

CAN BUS analyzer & UDS (ISO 14229)Module Analyser is a 5 in 1 easy to use CAN bus analyser with the following advantagesAutomotive OBD Scan tool and J1939Automotive UDS - (supports ISO14229, ISO15765)ODX editorCAN BUS monitoringData Acquisition

Why use Module AnalyserTypically CAN network analysis software tools require you to use a separate application for automotive functions such as J1939, UDS diagnostics , module reprogramming and CAN monitoring functions. Module Analyser brings these features together in a single powerful environment.

19

Contin……..

1.CAN BUS Monitoring

Module Analyser gives you the ability to capture, view and monitor CAN BUS and LIN BUS traffic. It can be used to monitor the CAN network bus integrity and for troubleshooting.

Some of the useful CAN monitoring functions are: Filters can be added to narrow your search. Signals can imported to the database from the CAN .DBC file or manually added. Data can be viewed on scopes, led’s and gauges. Messages can be periodically transmitted onto the network by using the message constructor. CAN and LIN node simulation - record and playback received messages, line-by-line, complete or

cyclically. Use filters to define only the required messages and import a previously recorded trace to mimic other devices.

2.Module Reprogramming

Module Analysers is capable of flashing any module. Security mode access. Retrieve VID blocks. Reprogramme any ECU with the required binary files.

20

3.Diagnostics

Module Analyser supports ISO15765 and ISO14229 diagnostic protocols. It also supports ODX and MDX diagnostic databases. (not all versions)In the basic OBD mode this enables:

EOBD/OBDII data retrieval and analysis and single click reports.Live monitoring of emissions parameters. This includes data such as engine speed, vehicle speed, engine temperature, manifold pressure, intake air temperature etc...Monitor and clear emissions trouble codes (DTC’s)Read vehicle informationIn the extended mode the following advanced functions are also possible:Monitoring engine parameters from address and parameter identifiers (DID’s).Read and write DID’s.Fast data acquisition.Acquire and clear advanced diagnostic trouble codes.Test routines.

Power train Calibration Management

LogiProject is designed to simplify eanaging complex calibration projects by providing a secure database tracking system.

LogiProject features includeA calibration release process which includes merging, comparing and checking for conflicts.Variant calibrations are automatically built.Reports and documentation for every stage in the process.Easy to use reports for the history of each parameter.Using LogiProjectensures that your calibrations are reliable. Saving time and reducing project costs.

23

1.Calibration Security

A key feature of LogiProject is to track calibration modifications for the duration of the project:

Each engineer can be assigned any number of functions and calibration parameters to oversee; ensuring that the end product is always robust.The LogiProject checks will prevent values from being over written accidentally or without trace.Releasing calibrations by this method will ensure that all members in the team are confident of working from the latest base calibration and it is no longer a juggling act just to keep up to date!

24

Contin……

2.Calibration ReleasesLogiProject helps to merge the calibrations received at each project phase and display these, highlighting any differences.

Each item’s status and modification comment is updated and the merged ‘base calibration’ can then be exported back into the team to be worked on for the next engineering phase.

After the merge process is completed a new base hex file is produced.

3.Reports and documentation

All calibration items can be filtered and queried by software item ownership, function, category etc. Reports can then output to standard Microsoft Word™ documents or Microsoft Excel™ spreadsheets.

Entire calibrations can be sent to the report , or just items that have been selected by the software filters such as engineers, functions etc…

The calibration growth curve will show the current status of the project for each aspect such as emissions, safety or drive ability .

“Who has changed the value and for what reason and when?”

“Compare all the values that are different from the internal or supplier data releases.” “Valuable statistical information such as project completion status etc…”
