CANlog 3 and CANlog 4

The Data Logger for CAN and LIN Buses

Do you need a tool that can log messages from CAN and LIN buses and evaluate them later? Vector's CANlog 3 and CANlog 4 products give you the ideal data recorder for both simple and challenging logging tasks.

Features and Advantages:

CANlog 3 and CANlog 4 are the optimal tools for logging the data communication of a CAN and LIN system. Messages can be received, saved, and evaluated according to the loaded configuration. With its low current consumption in sleep mode CANlog is also an excellent choice for in-vehicle testing and use in test fleets.

Functions:

CANlog 3 and CANlog 4 each support up to four CAN channels. Furthermore, CANlog 4 has a CAN channel that can be used as a measurement channel. Optional I/O boards may be used to expand CANlog 3 and CANlog 4 with additional digital inputs and outputs, analog inputs, or a LIN interface. The data are saved in internal memory, and with CANlog 4 there is the option of saving data to interchangeable flash cards.

The configuration program included with the product allows the user to create a configuration customized for different applications and goals. There are functions for using CANlog as a data logger, classing device, gateway, tachograph, and for rainflow analysis.
