The plug & play 2xCAN/LIN logger records timestamped CAN data (Classical/CAN FD) to the extractable 8 GB industrial SD card.
It's extremely easy-to-use: Simply power the device via your CAN bus connector to start logging raw CAN data. Extract the data and process it using 100% free open source software/API tools - incl. J1939/OBD2 DBC conversion & graphical plots.
The CANedge1 is ideal for monitoring CAN bus systems over long periods - e.g. for legal purposes, vehicle development, diagnostics, maintenance or research.
