Data logger
A device on the vehicle or bench that records bus traffic and sensor data to BLF or MDF4 files, often with triggers and remote upload. For field failures it is the black box from which the sequence of events is rebuilt.
- Also called
- CAN logger, telematics logger
Example
Data, communication and electronics: an example situation
2500 in a log might mean 25.00 °C, 2.5 V or raw counts. Units and scale must accompany the value.
Read Data logger alongside BLF file in this context. Vector’s compressed binary format for bus logs: every CAN, CAN FD, LIN or Ethernet frame with its timestamp and channel. It is the usual format of field logs from vehicles and test benches, decoded with the matching DBC file.
Use in Lemonergy
