IXXAT CARcorder – Logging of Automotive Bus Systems

IXXAT's CARcorder is an universal, automotive diagnosis and logging system for all vehicle communication busses.

The two processor architecture enables the fanless device to record all traffic synchronous and without loosing any data. At this, the CARcorder provides the following interfaces: FlexRay, 6 x CAN, 4 x LIN, K-Line, Ethernet, Digital/Analog-IO and RS232.
The logging application runs on an embedded PC with 520 MHz clock frequency and Windows CE operating system. The separate field bus controller provides a real time recording capability with a time stamp accuracy of 1 µs.
IXXAT's CARcorder is delivered with a rugged aluminum case, an integrated UPS for up to 10 seconds of power cut and has a power consumption of less than 10 mW in deep sleep mode. The wake up is performed with the first valid message, which will be recorded also.

With the PC-based software, the device can be configured, trigger conditions can be defined and diagnosis tasks can be created. The field bus configuration is done by importing the related bus description files (CANdB, FIBEX, A2L, ODX, open XML). Trigger conditions and filters are defined with a comfortable and easy to use script language. At this, the user is supported by syntax highlighting and verification functions.
The definition of diagnosis tasks can be done control unit oriented via drag&drop. To increase the performance, the complete configuration is compiled to executable code and downloaded to the device.

IXXAT presents a CARcorder demonstrator on the Embedded World fair. The first release of the device is planed for the second half of the year 2009, so customer requirements can still be considered during the development.
