Compact automotive data logger records multiple data streams simultaneously

The x2e XORAYA ML-N4000 is a powerful compact datalogger intended for automotive applications which is able to record data from multiple bus systems simultaneously at data rates of up to 4 Gbit/sec. Each logger comes with six slots for various automotive interface needs. The data logger has 6x slots for individual interface configuration of the device. This allows logging from LS-CAN, HS-CAN, CAN FD, FlexRay, RS-232, LIN, Ethernet, 100/1000Base-T1 (OABR), PSI5 and analog signals. Support for other bus systems is also possible. The Xoraya ML-N4000 provides flexible configuration choices, enabling it to be assembled or retrofitted according to varying customer requirements. The unit’s modular construction allows the XORAYA ML-N4000 data logger to be quickly and efficiently adapted to varying test conditions and can be adapted to ever-changing project needs.

All data is logged with a precise, central timestamp offering 100-nsec resolution and saved either on the internal SSD or transferred via Ethernet to an external computer system or Xoraya External Storage Unit. A built-in supercapacitor unit bridges any power fluctuations and provides the ability to safely shut the logger down during power failures. The data logger supports x2e’s own Distributed Logging Network (DLN) as well as the Probe Logger Protocol (PLP) to adapt different probes to the logger.

Successor to the highly successful Xoraya ML-Z7, the Xoraya ML-N4000 is widely used by European car manufacturers. For even better performance, the built-in Xilinx FPGA and RAM can be exchanged for a more powerful FPGA module. The internal SSD memory can be expanded from the standard 120 GB to as large as 1 TB. Additional customer-specific solutions can be obtained, from unique cable sets to corresponding custom installation racks for test vehicles. Software provided includes the Logger OS (Embedded Linux) with XorayaSuite and XorayaSDK for Microsoft Windows.
