  • Can I merge multiple log data which record at different time/date together into one log file.

    Yes, in Kvaser Memorator Config Tool, you could merge multiple log data record by selecting(highlight) the record that you need, then follow the regular steps to extract the data into the log file format you want.

    Noted: This feature only works with records that are coming from the original data file in the SD Card(.kmf) format.

  • Megabits to gigabits datalogging

    Kvaser’s Memorator data loggers are an ideal fit for those gathering megabits to gigabits of CAN data. The Kvaser Memorator’s support Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) and Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) formats, the former offering between 4GB to 32GB, and the latter upwards of 32GB. Compared to a hard-drive, an SD card offers numerous advantages in terms of cost, performance (higher speed, smaller size and lower power consumption), and reliability (higher shock-resistance). These advantages become very tangible when recording data from the field – particularly in tough environments like heavy duty trucks and agricultural machinery.

  • Is it possible to use a Memorator to playback a captured CAN data stream?

    The Memorator series of dataloggers does not have a built-in way to perform playback.

    In order to playback a stream of recorded CAN messages onto the bus, there are two options:

    1.  Extract the recorded data from the Memorator to a desired format.  Then write a software application using our CANlib SDK to play the messages back on the bus using the Memorator Professional or other Kvaser USB to CAN interface (see products).

    2. Kvaser also has several Technical Associates (TA’s) whose software supports playback.  This would mean:

    a) extracting the data from the Memorator to a format that the TA software supports, then

    b) running the TA software to play the data back on to the bus using the Memorator Professional or other Kvaser USB to CAN interface.

    TA software can be found on our “Associate Software” page: https://www.kvaser.com/products-services/associate-software/

    Use the filters on the right side of the screen to limit the number of applications to only “Bus Analyzers”.  Visit these software pages to confirm the playback feature.
