Detailed Feature Overview with Field Use of Kvaser Memorator Pro 2xHS

Kvaser Memorator Pro 2xHS is a data logger designed to log CAN bus data making it a valuable tool for professionals involved in CAN bus system troubleshooting, analysis and product development.

Field Use: Selective data capture

Kvaser Memorator Pro allows users to log CAN bus data to an external SD card, which can be configured with filters and triggers to log specific messages. This is important for identifying and analyzing behavior around fault events, and helps to capture specific messages and control the start and stop of logging.

The ability to configure filters and triggers allows professionals to focus on specific CAN messages, reducing the amount of irrelevant data. This selective logging is essential for efficient analysis, especially when troubleshooting complex systems. It ensures that only relevant data around the event is captured, making it easier to pinpoint the problem.

Field Use: Immediate feedback

Kvaser Memorator Pro can act as a real-time CAN bus interface, allowing instant data access and interaction. Acting as a real-time CAN bus interface via USB allows engineers to access and interact with live data in the field without having to stop operations. This can significantly speed up the diagnostic process.

While field testing a heavy-duty vehicle, an engineer can use the real-time interface to monitor CAN signals and make adjustments on the fly. This real-time capability eliminates the need for multiple test sessions, saving time and resources.

Field Use: Custom test cases

More advanced test setups can be programmed to specific test cases using t-programming. T-programming allows users to implement simulations, diagnostics, higher layer protocols etc.

T-programming allows the creation of custom scripts to simulate complex scenarios, run diagnostics or implement higher layer protocols such as J1939 or CANopen. This flexibility is essential for advanced testing and simulation that can’t be provided by off-the-shelf solutions.

Field Use: High data throughput

The ability to handle 20,000 messages per second with 1µs timestamp resolution is critical for capturing high frequency data and ensuring accurate timing analysis. This performance is essential when dealing with fast and complex CAN networks where timing is critical.

For example, in applications where every millisecond counts, engineers can rely on the Kvaser Memorator Pro 2xHS to accurately log and analyze data from various sensors (e.g. RPM, throttle position, brake pressure).
