DLX Datalogger
1100 Series
Quick Start Guide
The DLX Datalogger offers a unique combination of functions that provide the
features of a CAN interface, data acquisition module, and data logger all in one compact package. Different variations of
the DLX are available. Additional channels are available depending upon the unit purchased. The standard DLX hardware
provides the following:
Connecting the DLX
The DLX uses two D-Sub connections to handle all the sensor inputs, network communication and DC power during data
acquisition and stand-alone data-logging. Connect to the PC using the USB cable to to configure the DLX and retreive MDF4
data-log files. The wire diagram below shows the functions of break-out cables available for the DLX:
Note:The DLX can be powered by USB cable or by COM cable using an external power supply/vehicle battery.
•Four 0 to 20 V single-ended analog inputs
•Four +/- 5 V differential analog inputs
•Four K-type thermocouple inputs
•Four digital input/output channels
•One 5 to 15 V sensor power output
•One ISO9141 K-Line channel
•Two high speed CAN 2.0B channels
•Removable SDHC memory card
•ASAM MDF4 file format

Adding DLX to the VISION Device Tree
The DLX Datalogger must be added to the device tree in the VISION project window. The device tree describes the physical
configuration and communication protocols of all associated hardware devices and connections.
To build the device tree:
Right click on ‘Computer’ in the device tree Click ‘Add device’
Select ‘USB Port’ from the list of Ports in the ‘Select Device type Window’ and click OK
Right click on ‘USB’ in the device tree Click ‘Add device’
Select ‘DLX’ from the list of Hubs in the ‘Select Device type Window’ and click OK
CAN channels are added automatically to the DLX in the device tree. Here, devices such as instrumentation or PCMs can
be added to their respective CAN channels.
