1.2 Important Notes

1.2.1 Safety Instructions and Hazard Warnings

Caution: In order to avoid personal injuries and damage to property, you have to read and understand the following safety instructions and hazard warnings prior to installation and use of the loggers of this GL3000/GL4000 family. Keep this documentation (manual) always near the logger.

1.2.1.1 Proper Use and Intended Purpose

Caution: The loggers are measuring devices which are mainly used in the automotive and commercial vehicles industries. The loggers are designed for gathering and recording data of the bus communication, for analyzing and possibly controlling electronic control units. This includes, inter alia, bus systems like CAN, LIN MOST and FlexRay.

The loggers may only be operated in a closed state. In particular, printed circuits must not be visible. The loggers may only be operated according to the instructions and descriptions of this manual. Only suitable accessories should be used, such as the original Vector accessories or accessories approved by Vector.

The loggers are exclusively designed for use by skilled personnel as its operation may result in serious personal injuries and damage to property. Therefore, only those persons may operate the loggers who (i) have understood the possible effects of the actions which may be caused by the loggers; (ii) are specifically trained in the handling with the loggers, bus systems and the system intended to be influenced; and (iii) have sufficient experience in using the loggers safely.

The logger specific information can be acquired via the specific manuals as well as from the Vector KnowledgeBase at www.vector.com. Please consult the Vector KnowledgeBase for updated information prior to the operation of the loggers. The knowledge necessary for the bus systems used, can be acquired in workshops and internal or external seminars offered by Vector.

1.2.1.2 Hazards

Caution: The loggers may control and/or otherwise influence the behavior of electronic control units. Serious hazards for life, body and property may arise, in particular, without limitation, by interventions in safety relevant systems (e.g. by deactivating or otherwise manipulating the engine management, steering, airbag and/or braking system) and/or if the loggers are operated in public areas (e.g. public traffic, airspace). Therefore, you must always ensure that the loggers are used in a safe manner. This includes, inter alia, the ability to put the system in which the loggers are used into a safe state at any time (e.g. by „emergency shutdown“), in particular, without limitation, in the event of errors or hazards.

Comply with all safety standards and public regulations which are relevant for the operation of the system. Before you operate the system in public areas, it should be tested on a site which is not accessible to the public and specifically prepared for performing test drives in order to reduce hazards.

2.1 General Information

GL3000 The GL3000 is a data logger with USB and Ethernet interface which processes CAN messages with either 11-bit or 29-bit identifiers, Remote Frames, LIN messages and analog measurement values. The data is stored on a Compact Flash card. The configuration of the logger is done with the Vector Logger Configurator or the G.i.N. Configuration Program. The installation is described in chapter 3.

GL3100 The GL3100 includes all the functionality of the GL3000. In addition its housing features four buttons for input and a display for output.

GL3200 The GL3200 only differs from the GL3100 in that the data is recorded on a solid-state disk instead of a Compact Flash card. This allows the data to be read out faster.

GL4000 The GL4000 includes all the functionality of the GL3000 and also supports FlexRay recording. In addition its housing features four buttons for input and a display for output.

GL4200 The GL4200 only differs from the GL4000 in that the data is recorded on a solid-state disk instead of a Compact Flash card. This allows the data to be read out faster.

2.2.2 Main Plug

DSUB50 pin assignment

The pins of the main plug (DSUB50, male) have the following meaning:

Pin Assignment Pin Assignment 1 FlexRay1+ 26 CAN3 Vbatt 2 FlexRay1- 27 CAN3 GND 3 GNDSense 28 CAN4 GND 4 GND 29 CAN4 Vbatt 5 GND 30 LIN1 Vbatt 6 CAN1 High 31 LIN2 Vbatt 7 CAN1 Low 32 UART3 Tx 8 CAN2 High 33 UART3 Rx 9 CAN2 Low 34 FlexRay2+ 10 CAN3 High 35 FlexRay2- 11 CAN3 Low 36 BattSense 12 CAN4 High 37 Battery (VCC) 13 CAN4 Low 38 Battery (VCC) 14 LIN 1 39 CAN5 High 15 LIN 2 40 CAN5 Low 16 KL15/Wake 41 CAN6 High 17 K-Line 42 CAN6 Low 18 AnaIn1 43 CAN7 High 19 AnaIn2 44 CAN7 Low 20 AnaIn3 45 CAN8 High 21 AnaIn4 46 CAN8 Low 22 CAN1 Vbatt 47 CAN9 High 23 CAN1 GND 48 CAN9 Low 24 CAN2 GND 49 UART2 Tx 25 CAN2 Vbatt 50 UART2 Rx

Battery (Term. 30)

The two pins are connected to one another internally. They are used to supply the logger with power. In case of increased current consumption and/or a small cable diameter, we recommend connecting both pins.

GND The two GND pins on the main plug and the GND pin on the analog plug are connected to one another internally. In case of increased current consumption and/or a small cable diameter, it is recommended connecting both pins.

CAN

For CAN (see chapter 2.3.1), the CANx High and CANx Low pins are connected. For the galvanically decoupled piggybacks, the CANx GND and CANx Vbatt pins must also be connected.



LIN

The LIN channels are supplied with maximum 12 V from the supply voltage of the data logger. If the reference voltage for a LIN channel is higher than 12 V, this voltage (e.g. 24 V) must be applied to the LIN1_Vbatt or LIN2_Vbatt pins. In all other cases, the LIN1/2_Vbatt pins are not connected. It is recommended to connect also GND as ground supply beside the LIN pins.

FlexRay For FlexRay (see chapter 2.3.4), the FlexRay1+/FlexRay1- and

FlexRay2+/FlexRay2- pins are connected.

Analog inputs For analog inputs 1 - 4, the AnaInx pins are connected. Analog inputs 5 and 6 are hard-wired internally and connected to BattSense and KL15/Wake respectively. They are therefore not accessible through a plug.

UART

For the serial interfaces (see chapter 2.4.10), the UARTx Tx and UARTx Rx pins are connected. The UART2 Tx/Rx pins are connected internally with the UART2 Tx/Rx pins of the analog plug.

KL15/Wake The logger is woken up by a positive edge on this pin.

KL15/Ignition, for example, can be connected for this purpose.

BattSense, GNDSense

If the cables to the logger are long, the voltage drops off on the Term. 30 line and the GND line due to the operating current. As a result, a minimally lower voltage than the actual wiring system voltage is measured with AnaIn5. To prevent this, the BattSense and GNDSense pins can be connected close to the wiring system voltage. AnaIn5 then measures the voltage at these pins.

Caution: It is recommended to connect the logger to the same voltage supply (e.g. battery of the vehicle) as the vehicle or test equipment, respectively.

If two different voltage supplies are used for the logger and the test equipment, the ground (GND) pins of the two voltage supplies must be connected.

Reverse-polarity protection

For the voltage supply via Battery (Pins 37/38) and GND (Pins 4/5) a complete reverse-polarity protection is available that in parallel also suppresses negative peaks from the main power supply. A protection against positive peaks is also available. Dependent on the temperature peaks from 35.88 V up to 42.12 V can be absorbed. Then temporarily up to 1200 A can be discharged.



2.2.3 Analog Plug


The pins of the analog plug (DSUB25, male) have the following meaning:

Pin Assignment Pin Assignment 1 AnaIn7+ 14 AnaIn7- 2 AnaIn8+ 15 AnaIn8- 3 AnaIn9+ 16 AnaIn9- 4 AnaIn10+ 17 AnaIn10- 5 AnaIn11+ 18 AnaIn11- 6 AnaIn12+ 19 AnaIn12- 7 AnaIn13+ 20 AnaIn13- 8 AnaIn14+ 21 AnaIn14- 9 Reserved 22 Reserved 10 5V (out) 23 UART2 Rx 11 UART2 Tx 24 Vbatt (out) 12 RS232LinuxRx 25 RS232LinuxTx 13 GND

Analog expansion

The analog inputs (differential) of expansion card A8I (see chapter 2.4.6) are connected using this plug.

GND

This pin can be used as ground for 5V (out) and Vbatt (out). The GND pin on the analog plug and the two GND pins on the main plug are connected to one another internally.

5V (out) Externally connected devices can be supplied with 5 V through this pin. The voltage supply at this pin is switched off with a switch if the logger is in sleep mode or standby mode. This output can supply currents up to 1A.

Vbatt (out) This pin outputs the voltage active at pin Battery (VCC) and is

protected with 2A.

UART For the serial interface (see chapter 2.4.10), the UART2 Tx and UART2 Rx pins are connected. These pins are connected internally with the UART2 Tx/Rx pins of the main plug.

RS232LinuxRx, RS232LinuxTx

These pins support an access to the logger to set the real-time clock (see chapter 3.2.4).



2.2.4 Digital Plug


The pins of this digital plug (DSUB25, female) have the following meaning:

Pin Assignment Pin Assignment 1 Reserved 14 DigIn1 2 DigOut1 15 DigIn2 3 DigOut2 16 DigIn3 4 DigOut3 17 DigIn4 5 DigOut4 18 DigIn5 6 DigOut5 19 DigIn6 7 DigOut6 20 DigIn7 8 DigOut7 21 DigIn8 9 DigOut8 22 Vbatt (out,switched) 10 Reserved 23 DigGND 11 Reserved 24 DigGND 12 Reserved 25 Sync (reserved) 13 Reserved

Digital inputs The digital inputs (see chapter 2.4.4) are connected via the DigInx pins.

Digital outputs

The digital outputs (see chapter 2.4.5) are connected via the DigOutx and DigGND pins.

DigGND

The two DigGND pins are the common ground of the digital outputs and connected to one another internally. They are used to divert possible high currents that could flow in on digital output DigOutx. They are bridged internally with GND via a fuse. It is recommended connecting a good ground if digital outputs are used with high currents. For currents higher than 1 A, the ground DigGND (preferably both pins 23 and 24) must be connected to the vehicle ground (GND at main plug).

Vbatt (out, switched)

This pin outputs the voltage of Battery via a 1 A electrical fuse if the logger is switched on. This output is used for the operation of small accessory devices which have no own sleep mode and are supposed to operate when the logger is awake. The ground of such device must be connected to the vehicle ground (GND at main plug).



2.2.5 Ethernet Connections

Ethernet connector One 10/100 Mbit Ethernet connection is located on the front, and two 10/100 Mbit Ethernet connections on the back with the following meanings:

Front > Eth 1: Reserved.

Back > Eth 2: Configuration of the logger and reading out of the logging files (analog to

Eth1), connector for one camera (CAMlog2 or network camera HostCAM) and for the usage as interface in CANoe/CANalyzer.

> Eth 3: Connector for GLA150 (accessory for MOST150) or VX1000 System (VX measurement hardware).

Logger as bus interface

The loggers support a monitoring interface that allows the use of loggers as bus interface for monitoring in CANoe/CANalyzer (since version 7.6 SP3).

The logger is connected via Ethernet to the CANoe/CANalyzer PC and sends after measurement start the bus data to CANoe/CANalyzer, where the data can be analyzed in the measurement setup. Sending messages with CANoe/CANalyzer is not possible. The relevant CANoe/CANalyzer licenses must be provided by a connected hardware interface on the PC or by a license dongle.

You can find further information in the Vector Logger Configurator manual, chapter Monitoring Interface. There the configuration of the logger and CANoe/CANalyzer is described in Tutorial: Usage as interface.

2.2.6 USB Connections

USB connection Two USB connections are located on the front, and one USB connection on the back with the following meanings:

Front > USB 1: Reserved. > USB device connection with USB B socket for connection on the PC.

Back > USB 2: USB host connection with USB A socket for connection of a USB memory

medium.



2.2.7 AUX Connections

AUX connection The two additional 5-pin plug connections (connector series 711) AUX are intended for the connection of the following logger accessories:

> LOGview (external display) > Switch Box CAS1T3L (with one button, three LEDs and one sound) > Switch Box CASM2T3L (with two buttons, three LEDs, one sound, and

microphone for voice recording) > VoCAN (for voice recording and output)

The plug pin assignment is as follows (view of the contacts of the logger socket):

Pin Assignment 1 +5V 2 Ground 3 CAN high 4 CAN low 5 Vbatt

The AUX connections are wired to CAN9 internally. For this reason, this channel is always equipped with a high-speed transceiver without wake-up capability and can no longer be used freely if an AUX connection is used. If the AUX connections are not used, CAN9 is fully available.



2.2.8 Event Connection

Event connection This plug is used for the connection of the Switch Box E2T2L with two buttons and two LEDs, which is included in the scope of delivery. The buttons and the LEDs are freely programmable.

The plug pin assignment is as follows (view of the contacts of the logger plug):

Pin Assignment 1 GND 2 3.3V 3 A 4 B 5 T

Switch Box wiring

2.2.9 WiFi Connection

WiFi antenna connection

Each logger delivered with the WiFi option has a connection for the WiFi antenna on the back. In the case of a logger without the WiFi option, a plastic plug is located there instead.

The operating frequency of the antenna is approximately 2.4 GHz.

Caution: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer distances than this are not recommended.



2.3 Bus Systems

2.3.1 CAN

CAN channels The loggers support 9 CAN channels.

Channel 1 - 4 Freely configurable via piggyback PCBs

Channel 5 - 8 Permanently occupied by high-speed CAN transceiver with wake-up capability

Channel 9 Permanently occupied by high-speed CAN transceiver without

wake-up capability

Wake-up capability The logger can be woken up on CAN channels 1 - 8. The wake-up capability can be set via the configuration.

2.3.2 CAN Piggybacks

Piggybacks A piggyback is a plug-in PC-board which implements the interconnection of the logger to a specific CAN bus by the use of various transceivers. The piggybacks are also used in other loggers.

Available piggybacks for the GL3000/GL4000 series:

Galvanically decoupled piggybacks

Piggybacks 1041mag, 1043mag, 1054mag and 1055mag are magnetically decoupled and available for CAN channels 1 - 4 of the GL3000/GL4000 series. Due to the decoupling, the power supply and ground for these piggybacks must be connected at the main plug (see chapter 2.2.2 Main Plug). For proper galvanic isolation, the piggybacks must be powered from a different source than the logger.



Info: For the galvanically decoupled transceiver, power supply (CAN1/2/3/4_Vbatt) and ground (CAN1/2/3/4_GND) must be connected separately.

Replacing piggybacks

The piggybacks can be exchanged. The installed piggybacks are automatically detected (“plug & play”).

Info: > First read the installation instruction completely. > The case has to be opened to exchange the piggybacks. > This must be done very cautiously and carefully, in order to not damage the

sensitive lines in the unit.

GL3000/GL4000 series

Now proceed as follows:

1. Screw off the back cover (with the main plug) of the logger. First remove the black decorative caps and then unscrew the crosshead screws.

2. Carefully remove the back cover with the board from the housing until the piggybacks are accessible. It is sufficient to pull out the board halfway.

Note that the USB cable of the GL3200 and GL4200 may under no circumstances be folded or pulled!

3. Looking from the main plug, the four slots are located at the edge of the board in the order of CAN1 - CAN4. The locations are marked red in Figure 1.

4. Remove the piggyback carefully from the mounting location.

5. Insert the new piggyback. As the piggybacks are structured asymmetrically, it is not possible to use them in a turned position. If some slots are not occupied, you must ensure that each piggyback is inserted exactly in its intended slot on the (4 x 4 =) 16-pin measuring connection strip. Galvanically isolated piggybacks contain four further pins.

6. Reassemble the unit in the reverse order. Place the main board back in the housing and ensure that the board has been inserted into the correct guide rail (piggybacks: groove 6, main board: groove 1).

Note the ribbon cable of the membrane keypad here (not in the case of GL3000) and the flat ribbon cable. Under no circumstances may they be folded or crushed!

7. It should be possible to slide the main board in the housing up to a few millimeters from the end without forcing it in. Close the housing by applying light pressure, and then secure it with the appropriate screw fasteners. The screws should be secure but not excessively tight.

8. Please also attach the black decorative caps.

Caution: When performing this operation be sure not to touch the top or bottom of the boards (logger main board or piggybacks).



Layout GL3000/GL4000 series

Figure 1 – Layout GL3000/GL4000 series

2.3.3 LIN

LIN channels LIN frames can be recorded with both internal LIN channels. The sending of LIN frames is not supported on these channels. A LINprobe X is required for this purpose and is available as a logger accessory.

LIN transceiver The LIN transceivers are already mounted on the main board of the loggers. Therefore LIN piggybacks are not needed.

LIN level The LIN channels are supplied with maximum 12 V from the supply voltage of the data logger. If the reference voltage for a LIN channel is higher than 12 V, this voltage (e.g. 24 V) must be applied to the LIN1_Vbatt or LIN2_Vbatt pins. In all other cases, the LIN1/2_Vbatt pins are not connected.

Wake-up capability The logger can be woken up over either LIN channel. The wake-up capability can be set via the configuration.



2.3.4 FlexRay

FlexRay channels The loggers of GL4000 series also support FlexRay: > 2 FlexRay channels A and B of a cluster for Rx/Tx, that means with XCP on

FlexRay or > 2 FlexRay channels A independent for Rx only, that means without XCP on

FlexRay

The data is transmitted at 10 Mbit/s.

With the Vector Logger Configurator FlexRay databases in the XML format are supported in versions FIBEX 2.0, FIBEX+, FIBEX 3.0 and FIBEX 3.1. XCP on FlexRay is also supported with these versions.

FlexRay transceiver The FlexRay transceivers TJA1080 are already mounted on the main board of the loggers.

Wake-up capability The logger can be woken up on both FlexRay channels.

2.3.5 MOST150

Overview For MOST150 the accessory GLA150 is available. It will be connected to the logger via Ethernet. With the GLA150 selectively the following MOST events can be logged:

> Status Events (bus state, system state, register, alloctable ...) > Control Message Events > MOST Data Packet Events (MDP) > MOST Ethernet Frame Packet Events (MEP)

Normally the status event is logged only at the occurrence of changes. Additionally it can be configured that the status event is written automatically to the logging file cyclically once per second. This ensures that also at a triggered logging with only a few occurred state changes the current state will be logged.

The configuration of the GLA150 is handled via the Vector Logger Configurator.

Logging of MOST events

The logging of the MOST events will start about 1 to 1.5 seconds after the logger’s wake up.

After the logger switched to sleep mode, the GLA150 remains active and thereby holds the MOST ring closed until the first time Light off will be detected at the input. Afterwards the GLA150 will be woken up by the logger.

The time stamps of the MOST events are synchronized automatically with events of other bus systems, e.g. CAN or LIN.

Connectors At the GLA150 the following connectors are available: Connector Description MOST150 Connection for fiber optic cable. Network Connection for Ethernet cable. The cable is connected to

2.4 Functions

2.4.1 Manual Switch On and Off the Logger

Switch on The logger is switched on by applying the supply voltage.

Manual switch off The logger is shut down and switched off by opening the front access panel. After opening the front access panel the display shows first Stop Rec (end of recording). After that the display shows Save XX% while saving the logging data from RAM to memory media. When this procedure is finished, Shutdown is displayed while the logger shuts down. During all the steps a running light from right to left is displayed by the LEDs. If the running light and the display are off, the logger is shut down completely.

The CF card can be removed after the LED color in the card slot changes from red to green or the LED is off.

Depending on the configuration, bus activity after the shutdown can wake up the logger immediately.

The logger must not be switched off by disconnecting the voltage. By interrupting the voltage supply, files are closed and the operating system shuts down properly. The logging data in the RAM gets lost.



2.4.2 Automatic Switch On and Off the Logger (Sleep / Wake-up / Standby)

Power Management For permanent use in vehicles the loggers are connected to the vehicle battery permanently. Due to the sleep-/wake functionality the logger will be switched on and off automatically by bus activity. This realizes an effective power management with very quick start times without stressing the vehicle battery in idle times (e.g. during night).

Sleep The loggers can be configured to switch to sleep mode automatically if no CAN, LIN or FlexRay message was received within a defined time and no voltage is applied to the KL15/Wake-Pin at the same time. This time can be defined in the configuration program (maximum 18,000 s = 5 hours).

The sleep mode has a very low current consumption of typ. 1 mA.

Wake-up The loggers wake up from sleep mode or standby mode > after reception of a CAN message > after reception of a LIN message > after reception of a FlexRay message (GL4000 series only) > positive edge on the wake-up line (clamp 15) > wake-up timer via real-time clock

After wake-up messages will be recorded after maximum 20 ms.

The logger has to be equipped with CAN transceivers with wake-up capability to support the wake-up functionality on CAN (see section 2.3.2 CAN Piggybacks)

Fast wake-up from standby mode

The fast wake-up from standby mode allows the recoding of the very first message waking up the logger. However, with typ. 300 mA the standby mode has a higher current consumption than the sleep mode.

2.4.3 Memory Media

Compact Flash cards The GL3000, GL3100 and GL4000 support Compact Flash cards. It is recommended to use Compact Flash cards with industrial grade: > Xmore industrial 8 GB (XM-CF-8G0-XIE52D(F), XM-CF-8G0-XIE53D(F)) > Xmore industrial 16 GB (XM-CF-16G-XIE52D(F), XM-CF-16G-XIE53D(F)) > Xmore industrial 32 GB (XM-CF-32G-XIE53D(F))

Currently Compact Flash cards higher than 32 GB with industrial grade are not available. The logger already supports CF cards with higher capacity. The capacity is not limited.

Further recommendations on request.

Removing Compact Flash card

The card holder is located behind the front flap. Unlock and open the flap. When the logger is switched on, the Compact Flash card must not be removed until the LEDs in the card slot are green or off. Now press the button next to the slot. The Compact Flash card is ejected from its slot and can be removed.

If the LEDs are red or red/green, the card must not be removed!

Do not pull the Compact Flash card from the card holder forcefully, since this could cause mechanical damage!



Removable SSD The GL3200 and GL4200 supports a 64 GB or 512 GB removable SSD (2.5 inch SATA Solid State Disk) which is available as accessory. The SSD can be removed and read out very quickly on the PC with an external power over eSATA connection.

The SSD is fixed on a cartridge. Both must be ordered from Vector.

Changing SSD The slot for the SSD is located behind the front flap. Unlock and open the flap. While the logger is switched on, the SSD must not be removed before the LEDs of the SSD holder are green ore off. While the LEDs are red or red/green, it is not allowed to remove the SSD as the logger closes the log files and shuts down the operating system properly during this time.

Read out via SSD For the read out via the SSD an eSATAp slot in the PC and the delivered eSATAp connection cable are necessary. If no eSATAp slot is available, you can use an USB-eSATAp adapter.

USB memory media At GL3000/GL3100/GL4000 data can be stored instead to a Compact Flash card (CF card) on an external USB memory medium (e.g. USB SSD, USB flash drive).

Connect USB memory media

The connection is made via the USB host connection on the back panel.

Note: The memory medium must be inserted or removed while the logger is switched off. Make sure that the logger has shut down properly (e.g. by opening the front panel) before removing the USB-memory media. Do not switch off the logger by disconnecting power! In contrast to CF cards, the voltage supply is not buffered for USB memory media!

If the logger restarts immediately e.g. due to active CAN channels the power supply can be disconnected during the first seconds after restart as the operating system is loaded at this time. Alternatively the USB memory media can be removed during the first approx. 10 seconds after start of the logger. The LED in many USB flash drives is off during this time.

Automatic detection The logger automatically detects if a CF card is inserted into the logger or if an external USB memory medium is connected. On start the logger searches for a memory medium in the following order:

1. CF card

2. USB memory medium

As soon as a memory medium is found it is scanned for a new configuration. If a configuration is found that is newer than the configuration on the logger an update will be performed. Afterwards data will be logged on this memory medium.

If for example a CF card is inserted and at the same time an USB flash drive is connected only the CF card will be used and the USB flash drive will be ignored. To use the USB flash drive the CF card has to be removed from the logger.

According to the logger type, a CF card or removable SSD must be available or a USB memory medium must be connected. If a memory medium is missed some beeps can be heard and loggers with integrated display show No Card. Afterwards the logger shuts down and switches off.

Info for formatting: The memory media have to be FAT32 formatted. For optimum speed we recommend FAT32 formatting with the maximum cluster size of 64 Kbyte.



2.4.4 Digital Input

Digital input The loggers support eight digital inputs.

A digital input can be used e.g. as external trigger.

In unconnected state the digital inputs are set to High (TRUE). After connecting the input with GND the status is set to Low (FALSE).

Technical data

Voltage range -0.8 V … 50 V Pull-up resistance 100 kΩ Sampling rate 1 kHz Low level < 0.5 V High level > 1.9 V State unwired input High (TRUE) Input resistance > 200 kΩ

2.4.5 Digital Output

Digital output The loggers support eight digital outputs. A digital output can be used to operate external hardware, for example. The voltage applied to the digital output is wired to ground via an FET switch. The two DigGND pins are connected to one another internally and are used to divert possible high currents that could flow in on the digital output. They are bridged internally to GND via a fuse.

For currents higher than 1 A, the ground DigGND (preferably both pins 23 and 24) must be connected to the vehicle ground (GND at main plug).

Technical data

2.4.6 Analog Inputs

Analog inputs The logger has six independent analog inputs which can be configured separately. Input 1 - 4 are freely disposable. Inputs 5 and 6 are hard wired internally and connected to BattSense and KL15/Wake.

Technical data

Input 1 - 4 Freely available

Input 5 Connected with BattSense

Input 6 Connected with KL15/Wake

Voltage range 0 V … 18 V Resolution 10 bit Precision 1 % Sampling rate Max. 1 kHz Type Single-ended to ground Input resistance 155.6 kΩ Reverse-polarity protection -50 V … +50 V

Analog expansion card

The logger can be expanded by eight independent analog inputs using a card. The inputs are freely available as channels 7 through 14 and can be configured separately. These channels are differential and provide higher resolution and better precision than the internal analog inputs.

The extension cards are calibrated after production. The calibration data is stored on the board, so that you can install or exchange the analog card later. For the installation it is sufficient to plug in the extension card and to fix it with four screws.

After start the extension card needs 100 ms before data can be measured. The loggers start considerably faster (20 ms after switching on). As the analog values and the values from the digital inputs are latched together with the CAN data in the pre-logger, the measurement values of the first 80 ms are lost.

Technical data

Input 7 - 14 Freely available

Voltage range 0 V … 18 V Resolution 12 Bit (5 mV) Precision 0.2 % Sampling rate Max. 1 kHz for each channel Type Differential, unipolar Reverse-polarity protection -50 V … +50 V



2.4.7 LEDs, Display, Keys

LEDs The five logger LEDs are freely programmable. They can be used to display different states.

Display The loggers (except GL3000) feature an eight-position alphanumeric display. The display is freely programmable and can be used for the display of text. Capital and small letters, numbers, umlauts and some special characters can be displayed.

Event keys The loggers (except GL3000) feature four programmable event buttons on the front panel. These buttons can be used as triggers, for example.

Remote control All loggers include a remote control (Switch Box E2T2L) with two buttons (red and black) and two LEDs (one red and one green) in the scope of delivery. The buttons and LEDs are freely programmable. These buttons can also be used as triggers.

2.4.8 Beep

Beep The loggers have a speaker that acoustically alerts the user e.g. in case of a trigger. Triggers and beep can be defined using the configuration program. The hole is located on the back of the logger.

2.4.9 UPS

UPS For recording data on CF card or Solid State Disk the loggers contain an uninterruptible power supply for up to two seconds so that the files may be closed and the operating system shut down properly should a power failure occur.

2.4.10 Serial Interfaces

RS232 for logging mode

For recording and transmitting data the serial interfaces (UART2 and UART3) of the logger can be used. The baudrate of the interface can be set. Received data can be stored as CAN messages.

The serial interfaces cannot be used to load a configuration or to read out logging data.

RS232 for configuration mode

The loggers have an additional interface (RS232LinuxRx/Tx) that is not necessary in the logging mode. During installation the network settings and the real-time clock are set in the configuration mode via this interface. You can find further information for setting the real-time clock in chapter 3.2.4 Quick Start.

For the connection between logger and PC use the delivered CONSOLE cable. The pins of the CONSOLE cable are assigned as follows.

DSUB25 female (to analog plug) DSUB9 female (to PC) RS232LinuxTx (Pin 12) 2 GND (Pin 13) 5 RS232LinuxRx (Pin 25) 3



2.4.11 Real-Time Clock with Battery

Real-time clock The loggers have an internal real-time clock, which is battery supplied, and thus continues running even if the logger is disconnected from power supply. The real-time clock inside the logger is required to store the date and time together with the logged data. It is recommended to set the real-time clock before first logging (see chapter 3.2.4 Quick Start).

Battery The Lithium battery has a typical durability of approximately 4 - 7 years under the following conditions:

T = +40 °C to +70 °C for at most 40 hours per week T = -40 °C to +40 °C in the rest of the time

Figure 2 – Lithium battery

Replacing battery The battery is exchanged as follows:

1. Screw off the back cover (with the main plug) of the logger. First remove the black decorative caps and then unscrew the crosshead screws.

2. Carefully remove the back cover with the board from the housing. It is sufficient to pull out the PCB halfway.

3. Remove the ribbon cable of the membrane keypad (not in the case of GL3000) from the board by releasing the plug first. Remove also the flat ribbon cable from the board (see Figure 1).

Note that these cables are connected with the front cover. Under no circumstances may they be folded or crushed!

4. Now completely remove the board from the housing.

Note that the USB cable of the GL3200 and GL4200 may not get caught on the slot of the SSD.

The battery is located in the front area of the board (see Figure 1).

5. Use wire-cutting pliers to cut off the connecting wires of the battery.

6. Now solder in the new battery and ensure correct polarity when doing so (see Figure 1).

7. Reassemble the unit in the reverse order. Insert the main board halfway into the housing and check to ensure that the board has been inserted into the correct guide rail (piggybacks: groove 6, main board: groove 1).



8. Insert the ribbon cable of the membrane keypad with the wide wire oriented to the middle of the board into the plug and lock it (not in the case of GL3000). Then attach the flat ribbon cable to the board (see Figure 1). Pin 1 of the flat ribbon cable is located on the outside.

Pay attention to the ribbon cable of the membrane keypad (not in the case of GL3000). Under no circumstances may it be folded or crushed!

At the GL3200 and GL4200 you have to direct the USB cable along the board of the SSD housing that is fixed onto the inside wall of the housing.

9. Now slide the main board completely into the housing. It should be possible to slide the main board in the housing up to a few millimeters from the end without forcing it in. Close the housing by applying light pressure, and then secure it with the appropriate screw fasteners. The screws should be secure but not excessively tight.

10. Please also attach the black decorative caps.

11. Dispose of the removed battery according to the applicable laws (e.g. the Battery Law in Germany).

2.4.12 USB

USB Loggers with inserted CF card or SSD can be connected to the PC via USB for the read out of logging data and for new configuration. Therefore the logger will be switched to the USB mode. In Windows the logger is shown as an USB drive (similar to USB hard disks). The Vector Logger Configurator identifies the logger as device and displays additional information under Device Information. The USB mode is not available for connected USB memory media.

To switch into the USB mode, the logger must be connected to an external voltage supply. The USB connection is not sufficient.

USB connection If the logger is in logging mode, connect the logger with the PC as follows:

1. Check if the logger is already in logging mode. The display shows Record and the LEDs lit as configured.

2. First connect the USB cable to the PC (USB connector type A).

3. Open the front access panel.

4. Quickly connect the USB cable with the USB device connector (USB connector type B).

After opening the front access panel the logger will close the logging and will wait minimum 6 seconds for the USB connection. If logging data are still written to the memory medium the waiting time will be extended respectively. During this time the display shows Stop Rec or Save XX% and the LEDs show a running light from the right to the left. If the USB cable is not connected during this waiting time, the logger will switch off.

If you connect the logger with USB, the logger switches to USB mode after about 30 seconds.



USB mode If the USB cable is connected during this waiting time, the logger will switch to USB mode and the display shows USB Mode. The LEDs still show the running light from the right to the left, and on the memory medium green and red LEDs lit (at the Compact Flash card behind the card, at the SSD on the front of the cartridge).

Do not remove the memory medium while the logger is in USB mode!

With the Vector Logger Configurator the Device Information can be displayed, logging data can be read out and a new configuration can be written to the logger.

USB disconnection Please proceed as follows to disconnect USB:

1. Disconnect the logger safely with the function Safely Remove Hardware of the Windows task bar.

2. Disconnect the USB cable from the logger and close the front access panel.

The logger will switch off. In case of remaining bus traffic on the CAN busses, the logger awakes immediately.

2.4.13 Ethernet

Ethernet The loggers support the data transmission via Ethernet. For data transmission a basic version of Multi-Logger ML Server software is included in the scope of delivery. The software is described in the ML Server manual. The software can be used to read out up to two loggers simultaneously. Safety protocols are not supported.

The commercial Multi-Logger ML Server software supports the simultaneous reading out of more than two loggers and the safety protocols listed in chapter 2.4.14.

The software also supports the filtering of MAC addresses. You can find them on the label on the bottom of the logger.

For data transmission to ML Server the recording will be interrupted (LTL: ConnectionRequest). If the recording should be continued during the transmission (LTL: TransferRequest), the Online Data Transfer license must be installed on the logger.

2.4.14 Wireless LAN

Overview The loggers support optional wireless LAN.

In the Vector Logger Configurator can be set, which events should trigger a WiFi connection and which logged data should be transferred from the logger to the destination system.

For data transmission to ML Server the recording will be interrupted (LTL: ConnectionRequest). If the recording should be continued during the transmission (LTL: TransferRequest), the Online Data Transfer license must be installed on the logger.

Data transmission occurs as with Ethernet via the Multi-Logger ML Server software. The basic version is included in the scope of delivery.

Overview The loggers support the logging of color pictures via the network camera HostCAM. The camera must be connected via the Eth2 Ethernet port on the back of the logger. The GLX310 Ethernet switch is required for connection of a second HostCAM.

You can find further information on configuring and connecting the camera in the HostCAM user manual.

For the logging of the color pictures a camera license must be installed either on the logger or the camera. Please note that the licenses cannot be transferred.

Note: > The simultaneous operation of more than two HostCAMs is not recommended

due to performance reasons. > If multiple cameras are triggered simultaneously, it may result that during the

image transmission, the storage of recorded bus data to the memory medium is delayed. That may lead to a temporary impossibility to record any bus data.



> A Factory Reset at the HostCAM removes the camera license. Afterwards the license must be reinstalled.

Set the real-time clock

The following example describes how to set the date and the time of the logger. Before delivery the loggers are set to CET.

1. Connect the logger via a CONSOLE cable on the analog plug (see chapter 2.4.10 Serial Interfaces) to the serial interface of the PC.

2. Start the logger (if it is not switched on yet) by supplying power via the connection cable on the DSUB50. The logger must be switched on during the whole procedure.

Info: If the logger is configured to go to sleep mode while bus silence, you have to ensure that it stays awake as long as there is activity on the bus, or load a new configuration on the logger that ensures that the logger is permanently awake.

3. Start the Vector Logger Configurator. Make sure a configuration for GL3000 series or GL4000 series is active.

4. Select in the menu item Device|Set Real-Time Clock….

5. In the Connection setting select the COM port to which the logger is connected.

6. In the Clock setting select > PC to select the current PC time or > Manual to enter a different time manually.

7. With [Set] a connection to the logger is built up and the selected time will be set.

Info: After the start of the logger it takes approximately 15 seconds until the setting of the real-time clock is possible.

To read the current time from the logger, select Logger from the Clock setting. Date and time of the logger is continuously displayed.
