Kvaser Memorator HS/SWC is a dual channel, intermediate performance, CAN (controller area network) bus interface and standalone datalogger. This device has one CAN channel for High-Speed CAN and the second for Single-Wire CAN. In interface mode, it connects to a PC with USB1.1. As a data logger, Memorator makes for a perfect flight recorder due its compact design. Logging data to a standard SD card (supplied) or MMC disk; triggers, filters etc. can be set via our user-friendly configuration program and stored on the flash disk.

Functions in Kvaser Memorator:

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.

Configuration software in the PC:

• Configuration of the CAN controller, i.e. bit rate and filters.
• Configuration of the trigger conditions.
• Configuration of filter for messages to be stored.
• Configuration upload and download via USB.
