GL LOGGER
Special automotive data recorders which can be used in test vehicles or on test benches. They record measurement values and acquire the data communications of CAN/CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay and Ethernet bus systems.
Beside bus communication, customers can acquire internal ECU parameters via CCP/XCP and diagnostics as well as measured values of digital and analog inputs in a time-synchronous manner.

GL Logger Functions
→Time-synchronous logging of CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay and Ethernet
→Very short start-up times
→Power management for permanent use in test fleets, very low power consumption in sleep and standby mode
→System startup is based on various configurable wake-up sources, such as messages on the CAN or LIN bus
→Extensive filter conditions to reduce data volume
→Complex trigger conditions for triggering on frames, signals, inputs, manual button activation
→Import of databases DBC, LDF, FIBEX and ARXML (AUTOSAR format)
→Timeout monitoring for frames
→Multiple analog inputs available as well as digital inputs and outputs
→Measuring modules from CSM for precision measurements or high-voltage measurements
→Online classification for compact storage of statistical data during the test drive
→Battery-buffered real-time clock for logging date and clock time
→Compact storage of logging data on quickly removable storage media with high capacities
→Pushbuttons on loggers and on remote control for manually initiating a trigger
→Status indicator with LEDs on the logger or the remote control, or on display
→Signal tone for events can be triggered via configurable buzzer
→Fast read-out of the data directly via USB of the loggers, via SSD or via SD/CF card in commercially available card readers
→Wireless data transmission for automated upload of logged data and update of a new logger configuration via Wi-Fi or mobile communication (4G/LTE). To reduce the data volume, it is possible to transfer also only just the selected data. The loggers initiate the connection setup to your server. The trigger condition for the connection establishment is configurable
→Automatic conversion of the logged data depending on the bus system into frame based, signal based and raw data formats
→GL Loggers can be used for the observation of bus communication with CANoe or CANalyzer
→Easy connection of computer with CANoe or CANalyzer with the logger via Ethernet
→Use the existing logger connections to the vehicle buses
→License for the bus systems in CANoe or CANalyzer required
The Vector Logger Suite exports the raw logging data in various logging formats. The data can then be analyzed using the Vector tools CANape, vSignalyzer, CANoe, CANalyzer or third-party tools.
GL loggers have extensive and easy-to-configure vehicle diagnostics support, enabling more comprehensive vehicle data collection. The diagnostic data are cyclical or event-driven read out from the ECU of vehicle and time synchronized with all other logging data recorded.
The parameterization of the diagnostic request is as simple as symbolic choice of CDD, PDX, ODX and MDX files with the help of the ‘Vector Logger Suite’. The loggers support the common diagnostic protocols UDS, KWP2000 on CAN, OBD II, WWH-OBD and OBDonUDS.
The CCP/XCP logger option lets you time-synchronously acquire internal ECU parameters via cyclic DAQ lists or the polling mode. After an unexpected disconnection the GL loggers automatically restart the CCP/XCP connection.
GL3000/GL4000/GL5000 loggers also support the recording of internal ECU data with a Vector VX module and serial POD without load on vehicle buses. XCP on Ethernet (DAQ mode) enables a significantly higher data rate than XCP on the vehicle buses. Measurement data from CSM EtherCAT® modules can also be read out via XCP on Ethernet.
A CCP/XCP license must be installed on the logger. The license includes depending on the logger CCP/XCP on CAN, XCP on CAN FD, XCP on FlexRay and XCP on Ethernet.
GL Logger Family
GL1000 / GL1010
GL1000 is the optimal solution for operators of test fleets for logging the CAN and LIN data communication of small networks. Messages are saved and evaluated according to the loaded configuration. In addition, its very compact package simplifies the installation of the logger in any vehicle.
GL1010 is the IP65 variant for use in rough surroundings on test drives.
GL2000 / GL2010 / GL2400
GL2000 is the ideal solution for operators of test fleets to log the CAN and LIN data communication of moderate-sized networks. Messages are saved and evaluated according to the loaded configuration. The GL2000 is immediately ready to log from Standby mode, so the system start can be acquired. Wireless data transfer allows automated data exchange and remote reconfiguration. In addition, its compact package simplifies the installation of the logger in any vehicle.
GL2010 is the IP65 variant for use in rough surroundings on test drives.
GL2400 adds the CAN FD support to the GL2000 feature set.
GL3100 / GL3200 / GL4000 / GL4200
The loggers of the GL3000 family are the perfect solutions for operators of test fleets who need to record extensive CAN/LIN networks. The loggers are immediately ready for operation from Standby mode, so that the system start can also be acquired. The two independently configurable ring buffers provide a 2-in-1 solution, e. g. for long-term or event-driven logging. Wireless data transfer allows the automated data exchange and remote reconfiguration.
The loggers of the GL4000 family offer all of the functionality of the GL3000 family and also offer access to FlexRay.
GL3400
Extends the GL3000 Family with CAN FD
Now with integrated analog board: Additonal 8 inputs for recording measurement data.
Compared to GL3200:
- Higher performance, optimized for CAN FD and up to 4 cameras
- Long operating times due to higher memory capacity
- Easier connection of ethernet-based peripherals (LTE router, cameras, CSM modules,…)
GL5350 / GL5370 / GL5450
The GL5350 is the perfect solution for operators of test fleets who need to record extensive CAN/CAN FD/LIN/FlexRay networks. With its powerful hardware it supports you in demanding logging tasks. The loggers are immediately ready for operation from Standby mode, so that the system start can also be acquired. The three independently configurable ring buffers provide a 3-in-1 solution, e. g. for long-term or event-driven or conditioned logging. Wireless data transfer allows the automated data exchange and remote reconfiguration.
GL5370 offers more CAN channels and significantly more CAN FD channels with the same range of functions.
The GL5450 is an extension to the GL5370 or GL5350 that allows Ethernet communication to be recorded on separate SSDs. It offers many interfaces that are used both for recording point-to-point communication, but especially for introducing measurement points, so-called TAPs, into an Ethernet network segment.
