Chapter 1 Before Using the Product
LE-270AR/LE-270GR is the CAN/LIN communication analyzer, which can be used as a PC-connectable
protocol analyzer and PC-less Data logger. It has two High-speed CAN transceivers, and two LIN transceiv-
ers. It monitors two channels of CAN or LIN, or one CAN and one LIN channels. In addition, four channels of
Analog/Digital signals can be recorded. LE-270GR has GPS receiver and acceleration sensor and can register
positioning and acceleration information besides CAN/LIN communication data. Power failure protection,
water-proong and low power consumption widens the usage of analyzer such as in the automation factories
and other production factories,

CH1/CH2 : It displays the logic status of CH1 line (green) and CH2 line (red).
U1/U2 : Able to light the U1 (green) /U2 (red) by trigger actions.
WiFi/GPS : When you select “Station” in the Wi-Fi setting of “Wireless LAN conguration le”,
the LED lights in green (Wi-Fi) when it completes connecting with an external Wi-Fi
access point.
When you select “Access point” in the Wi-Fi setting, it lights in green (Wi-Fi) when
the access point in the analyzer runs.
For LE-270GR only, the LED lights in red (GPS) when the analyzer receives a GPS
radio.
