4 System requirements
Control Unit
A Windows based Laptop or PC is needed to configure the devices by Telemotive System Cli-
ent. It also allows to save the recorded data and to use them offline later.
Telemotive 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. An firmware update can be performed by the
Telemotive System Client too to ensure that your devices are always up to date.
blue PiraT Mini
The communication between bus systems and control units is monitored and relevant data can
be recorded very precisely with the data logger of Telemotive AG. The collected data are stored
to the logger and can be downloaded via Ethernet to a PC.
The blue PiraT 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 blue PiraT Mini can be expanded flexibly to
one cluster and therefore handled very easily by using Telemotive 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 blue PiraT Mini system
The blue PiraT 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 blue PiraT Mini is able to support extensive
test runs. After the data has been gathered it has to be downloaded via Ethernet. For the down-
load and the conversion of the logging data the Telemotive System Client is available.
For the available conversion options to various trace file formats please have a look at chapter
Conversion format overview. The blue PiraT Mini is available with different features (see
chapter Additional features by optional licenses)
The blue PiraT Mini is designed to create minimum interference with the vehicle’s bus systems
and interfaces. The data logger listens to the data traffic without operating as a bus node.
Additionally to the data recording functionality, the blue PiraT 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.
7.1.1 Resetting the logger to factory settings
Beside the possibility to reset the network settings, the blue PiraT 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, 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
blue PiraT Mini will switch off after that automatically.

7.4 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 Telemotive 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.
7.4.1 USB storage:
Requirements:
Size
At least 4 GB (or a partition at least with this size)
Free memory
At least 3 GB for the circular buffer (only for parallel recording)
File system
FAT32, NTFS or ext4
USB
Version 2.0 (partly USB 3.0 memory is also supported)
You could connect USB flash drives and external hard drive up to a maximal supply current of
500 mA. External power supplies must not be connected to the hard disk.
If the USB memory is pulled in the operational state, the following problems exists:
The logger is in an undefined state and will not record any data.
Only after rebooting the device behaves as expected.
The data on the USB memory can then be unreadable when it is removed during a write
operation.
If you turn off the blue PiraT Mini with the [ON / Trigger] button, you have 5 seconds to remove
the medium before the logger can be reawakened.
Note:
Telemotive AG recommends the testing of every external storage before using it in a
measurement. We suggest that especially USB devices with USB 3.0 are sometimes not
recognized by the system.
