4 System requirements
Control Unit
A Windows based Laptop or PC is needed to configure the devices by System Client. It also
allows to save the recorded data and to use them offline later.
System Client
The software client is used for configuring the data logger as well as downloading the recorded
data or convert these into your needed file format. A firmware update can be performed by the
System Client too to ensure that your devices are always up to date.
BLUEPIRAT Mini
The communication between bus systems and control units is monitored and relevant data can
be recorded very precisely with the data logger. The collected data are stored to the logger and
can be downloaded via Ethernet to a PC.
The BLUEPIRAT Mini is smallest data logger in the world with an outstanding functional scope.
It offers a wide range of interfaces, stable temperature behavior, very low energy consumption,
four GBit Ethernet ports, and much more. Different BLUEPIRAT Mini can be expanded flexibly
to one cluster and therefore handled very easily by using System Link.
License
For some additional features an installed license is required. Settings for licensed features can
be performed with a valid license only.
If you need a license for your logger, please contact our sales department (please find the ad-
dress under contact at the last page).

5 The BLUEPIRAT Mini system
The BLUEPIRAT Mini is a data logger, which offers the following interfaces, depending on the
model:
Figure 5.1: Interface (overview)
The data logger can be mounted in a vehicle and due to his large storage capacity of the hard
drive of currently approx. 50 GB usable space, the BLUEPIRAT Mini is able to support exten-
sive test runs. After the data has been gathered it has to be downloaded via Ethernet. For the
download and the conversion of the logging data the System Client is available.
For the available conversion options to various trace file formats please have a look at chapter
Conversion format overview. The BLUEPIRAT Mini is available with different features (see
chapter Additional features by optional licenses)
The BLUEPIRAT Mini is designed to create minimum interference with the vehicle’s bus sys-
tems and interfaces. The data logger listens to the data traffic without operating as a bus node.
Additionally to the data recording functionality, the BLUEPIRAT Mini provides online data pro-
cessing functions:
simple CAN and MOST filters
custom-defined messages can trigger the setting of markers

Note: The [ON / Trigger] button has set a debouncing time of 335 ms.
7.2 Resetting the logger to factory settings
Beside the possibility to reset the network settings, the BLUEPIRAT Mini offers the possibility to
reset the device to factory respectively delivery status, if the logger is in error state and there’s
no chance to connect to the logger any more (even after a network reset).
Warning:
Due to the reset to factory settings all data and licenses on the logger will be deleted.
Needed licenses have to be installed on the logger again after this operation.
An actual firmware version has to be flashed after this procedure. This is signaled by the
STATE-LED and a failure message “FC_FW_UPDATE” at the client.
To reset the logger to factory settings the logger has to be unplugged from power supply.
While you connect the logger with the power supply again, press the [ON / Trigger] button, until
both LEDs are pulsing.
Note: If you do nothing, the logger tries to startup normally, in case of the button was
pressed by mistake during plug in.
During the short phase, in which the LEDs are pulsing (for about 10 seconds), quickly press
many times the [ON / Trigger] button, until both LEDs are blinking alternately.
The device starts to reset itself to factory settings. This operation will take some minutes. The
BLUEPIRAT Mini will switch off after that automatically.
7.3 LEDs
The BLUEPIRAT Mini has two LEDs ACTIVE and STATE on his front side. They can have the
following states.

7.4 ETH #1 / TSL and ETH #2 / TSL
The network ports at the front side, ETH #1 / TSL and ETH #2 / TSL, are for the communication
between logger and client as well as for logging data.
Further they can be used to combine BLUEPIRAT Mini and BLUEPIRAT2 data logger to a com-
bined TSL (System Link) and synchronize these loggers.
Warning: Don’t connect ETH #1 and ETH #2 directly to each other.
Index
7.5 Micro-USB port
The front Micro-USB port can be used in host-mode.
It can be used for logging data to an external storage or for connecting a GPS, mobile phone or
Wi-Fi module to the logger. Wi-Fi can be used to get access to the logger over the client or to
use the feature Live View.
From firmware version 03.04.01, Telemotive data loggers also support logging data from units
which communicate over Android LogCat interface via USB.
