Multilog

The Data Recorder for Multibus Systems with CAN, LIN, FlexRay and MOST

Do you need a professional tool for logging and later evaluation of messages from different buses? With Multilog Vector is offering you a multibus data recorder for a wide range of logging tasks.

Features and Advantages:

Multilog is a programmable data logger for a wide range of multibus systems involving CAN, LIN, FlexRay and MOST. Messages from various buses can be received, saved, and evaluated according to the loaded configuration. Multilog's low current consumption in sleep mode makes Multilog especially well-suited for in-vehicle testing and use in test fleets.
Common Functions:

  • Saving data in compressed format during logging either in internal memory (100 MB) or on Compact Flash Cards (currently up to 8 GB)
  • Transferring logged data via wireless LAN
  • Configuration update via wireless LAN, Compact Flash Card or external memory device (USB 2.0)
  • Export of log files in various data formats for CANoe, CANalyzer and CANgraph or Microsoft Excel
  • Offline analysis of logged data in CANoe or CANalyzer with familiar analysis functions
  • Optional: either FlexRay or MOST
  • Optional: expansion by adding an analog card
  • Optional: diagnostics upon request
