Kvaser Memorator is a dual channel CAN bus interface as well as standalone CANbus data logger. When operated in stand-alone mode this device logs data to an SD card (128 MByte card included). In CAN interface mode the Memorator connects to the PC with USB1.1 port (USB 2.0 compatible). The first CAN channel is always for high-speed CAN connection, while the second CAN channel in this configuration is for a low-speed CAN bus.
The Kvaser Memorator features a USB connection and can be used as a powerful CAN to USB interface (like the Kvaser USBcan II Adapter) as well as a standalone CAN data logger - two products in one! Its compact design makes this device an ideal flight recorder for example when used as a data logger. Device configuration is performed via a user-friendly configuration program and configuration data is stored on the unit's Flash disk.
Kvaser Memorator Functions:
Triggers
Kvaser Memorator can log continuously, or logging can be triggered by external triggers (rising or falling edge) and/or by messages and signals on the CAN bus (triggered by identifier, or data contents.) Pre- and post-triggers are available.
Filters
To enhance logging performance, Kvaser Memorator can filter out selectable messages to be logged. The identifiers can be picked from a database, or all messages can be logged.
Memory Cards
Standard MMC or SD type flash memory cards can be used. Larger memory cards, up to 1 GB, can be used. See our support pages for more information.
