Automotive Data Logger Goes Wireless9 June 2005
Si-Gate GmbH, a leader in the field of Automotive Electronic Development has announced the addition of wireless capabilities to their market leading VDL-1000 Automotive Data Logger. This includes WLAN, GSM/GPRS, and Bluetooth.
Already being the industry standard for comprehensive vehicle bus data gathering, the new wireless aspect of the VDL-1000 gives engineers an added flexibility on how they approach their work. "This addition will address specific customer requests and strengthen the VDL-1000's position as the premier data gathering tool for serious automotive electronic developers," said Robert Newberry, CEO of Si-Gate GmbH.
The VDL-1000 with its built-in real-time clock has multiple inputs including 2X High Speed CAN with J1939 support, 1X Low Speed CAN, up to 16 analog inputs, and 4 digital inputs with 2 output drivers. This combined with on-board options such as a GPS Module, 3 Axis Accelerometer (2g or 6g), Temperature Sensor, and Barometric Pressure Sensor is able to cover just about every testing scenario found in today's real world environment. With virtually no boot-up time from sleep mode, it can quickly respond and record the data to the internal compact flash card or interface with the on-board USB or Serial RS-232 ports. The Si-Gate VDL-1000 is designed to be a complete data logging system, capturing important vehicle information together with critical sensor data.
With the new wireless capabilities that are now offered in the VDL-1000, it is now possible to remotely stow away the VDL-1000 unit and to still easily retrieve the data to any device that is Bluetooth or WLAN equipped. Or with the GSM/GPRS system, it is now possible to communicate with the data even when it is not contained with in a closed test circuit. As long as the VDL-1000 is within communicating range of a GSM network, it is now possible in real time to remotely interact with the data being gathered, even when it is on the other side of the world.
