Record ADAS Data synchronously from multiple Sources

11 November 2020 – The new logging solution CANape log from Vector is now available for recording ADAS data. With this solution users can record all data from sensors, networks, complex protocols and internal ECU data. The solution scales with increasing requirements and can be operated intuitively. Preconfigured logging is started, stopped and monitored via a mobile device - all with just one click.

Most data logging solutions available on the market do not collect sensor data from different manufacturers. This is where the overall solution from Vector comes in: CANape log records large amounts of data from different sources synchronously. Using the scalable VX1161 measurement hardware and the VN network interfaces, users connect sensors, ECUs and networks, such as Automotive Ethernet, to the logger. Raw data from video streams as well as radar data are recorded easily, quickly and reliably.

In stand-alone mode the user monitors and controls the logger via a browser-based user interface. In interactive mode a laptop with CANape is coupled to the logger hardware. In this way the full range of CANape functions is available without having to change the wiring in the vehicle.

CANape log is scalable in many ways. Different logger platforms are available depending on the required computing power and data rate: The VP7400 processes data at up to 1 GByte/s. The VP6400 is designed for up to 500 MByte/s, and the VN8911 rounds out the portfolio at the lower end with up to 15 MByte/s. A multi-PC solution with additional hardware modules tuned by only one CANape log allows recording rates to be increased at will.
