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
