Five channel bus interface USB-to-CAN/CAN FD independent data logging Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS

Five channel bus interface Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS (EAN: 73-30130-00778-9) is a small, yet advanced, portable CAN data logger that handles transmission and reception of standard and extended CAN messages on the bus with a high time stamp precision.

Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS can also be used as a powerful real time CAN to USB interface. It is compatible with applications that use Kvaser’s CANlib.

II. Additional software and documentation

• The Kvaser CANlib SDK includes everything you need in order to develop software applications interacting with Kvaser CAN and LIN hardware. The SDK contains full documentation and many sample programs, written in C, C++, C#, Delphi, Python and Visual Basic. Kvaser CAN and LIN hardware is built around the same common software API. Applications developed using one device type will run without modification on other device types.
• The latest versions of documentation, software and drivers can be downloaded for free at: kvaser.com/download.

III. Hardware of Five channel bus interface Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS

Hardware installation:

• For the Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS to communicate with the host computer, a compatible version of the Kvaser driver and firmware must be installed.
• After the driver has been installed on the host computer, the firmware may then be downloaded and installed on the Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS.
• The latest version of the driver and firmware can be downloaded from: www.kvaser.com/download.
• The driver is installed by running the file: kvaser_drivers_setup.exe.
• The Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS may be inserted in any free USB socket on the host computer. You do not need to switch the power off before inserting or removing the device.
• For information on how to upgrade the firmware, please contact us!

USB connector:

• The Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS has a standard USB type “Micro-B” female connector.
• Connect the device to your computer using any high quality USB 2.0 certified cable. The maximum total USB cable length is 5 m (∼ 16 ft).

CAN channels:

• The Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS has five CAN channels in a single 26-pin HD D-SUB CAN connector.

External trigger:

• The Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS can be set up to trigger on an external input signal, where the edge can be configured for rising or falling. It is also possible to configure the Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS to send an external pulse, of configurable length, as an action for a trigger event.

Power supply:

• The Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS can be powered through the CAN connector or through the USB connector.
• To operate the Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS in logger mode, you must supply power through the CAN connector. To use the device as a USB CAN interface or to configure the device, power on the USB side is sufficient.
• The Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS contains a battery that needs to be fully charged before using the device for the first time. Connect the Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS to either a powered USB port or supply power through the CAN connector and let the battery charge overnight.
• The battery inside the Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS is used for powering the real time clock and ensuring a safe shutdown of the device when disconnected. When in logger mode, the Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS can also use the battery to extend the logging time by a number of seconds (accessible from the Power Settings in Kvaser Memorator Config Tool).

SD card:

• You can use SD, SDHC and SDXC cards with your Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS for logging. The Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS is built with industrial environments in mind, but please note that the SD card used can be a limiting factor. By using a quality card that matches the specifications of the Kvaser unit, you minimize the risk for data corruption or lost data.
• Insert the SD card upside down into your Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS
• To remove the SD card, open the access door and using a finger or a small coin, gently press on the edge of the SD card until a click is heard. Release the card and it will partially eject. Remove the SD card completely.

LED Indicators:

• The Kvaser Memorator Pro 5xHS has one power LED and one traffic LED for each CAN channel.
