3. Overview
This user manual describes the administration of the newest generation of Telemotives data logger,
called blue PiraT Mini.
In this manual you find a description the hardware as well as the general functions and interfaces of
the blue PiraT Mini. The configuration and converting of the logged traces is described in the user
guide of the Telemotive System Client which is for blue PiraT Mini and blue PiraT2 too.
This document refers to blue PiraT Mini firmware version 02.01.01 and blue PiraT Mini / blue PiraT2
client version 2.1.1. Some features depending on model and feature license or may not be available in
older versions.
Software updates are frequently available in the Telemotive ServiceCenter. (You’ll find the address
under: Contact)
Please make sure to use always current firmware and software versions.
4. System requirements
Control Unit
A Laptop or a PC is used to configure the devices by the Telemotive TSL client. This client also allows
to save and convert the recorded data or to use them offline later.
blue PiraT Mini
The blue PiraT Mini is the newest data logger developed by Telemotive AG. It is the smallest data
logger with this high capacity and flexibility due to the possibility to combine several devices to one
complex network.
The communication of bus systems and control units are monitored and relevant data can be recorded
very precisely with the blue PiraT Mini. The collected data are stored on the blue PiraT Mini and can
be downloaded to a PC or network storage.
Telemotive System Client
The software Client of the blue PiraT Mini is needed to configure the data logger and later to
download or convert the recorded data.

5. The blue PiraT Mini system
The blue PiraT Mini is a data logger for the following interfaces:
Figure 5.1: available interfaces
The data logger can be mounted in a vehicle and due to his large storage capacity of the hard drive of
currently aprox. 50 GB usable space, the blue PiraT Mini is able to support extensive test runs. After
the data has been gathered, the data has to be downloaded via Ethernet. For the download and the
conversion of the logging data a blue PiraT Mini software client is available.
For the available conversion options to various trace file formats please have a look at chapter 12.1
Conversion format overview. The blue PiraT Mini is available in different versions (see Table 6.1
Model versions of blue PiraT Mini).
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 re-cording functionality, the blue PiraT Mini provides online data processing functions:
Simple CAN- and MOST-filters
Custom-defined CAN-, LIN-, FlexRay-, Analog- and Digital message can trigger different
actions.

7. Using the blue PiraT Mini
The next section describes the usage of the controls and connectors of the blue PiraT Mini.
Figure 7.1: blue PiraT Mini front panel
7.1. Function of the ON / Trigger button
The [ON / Trigger] button is used for these actions:
action
function
Short push in standby mode
Device wakes up
Short push while working
Setting a marker.
The Trigger button has set an debouncing time of
335 ms.
Long push while workin
(about 3 to 5 sek.)
Device goes to standby mode (shown by pulsing
Active-LED
Long push during boot sequence
(~ 20 seconds)
Procedure:
- Switching the logger on by a short
pushing of the [On / Trigger] –button or
switching on the power
- Pushing the [On / Trigger] –button for
about 20 sec. as soon as the [Active]
LED is on
Note:
The logger has to be restarted to set the settings
by pushing the [On / Trigger] button for about 3
to 5 sec until the logger switches off.
Setting the network settings to default (=DHCP
server)
(shown at State-LED by blinking 2 times)

7.2. Function of the LEDs
The blue PiraT Mini has 2 LEDs [Active] and [State] on his front side, which can have the following
states.
7.2.1. ACTIVE LED (green)
state
meaning
off
device is off or in standby mode
on
device has started up and can be reached by the
TSL client
short blinking
device is starting up
pulsing
device goes to standby mode
Table 7.2: ACTIVE LED
Maybe these states are overlain by a fast blinking when there’s traffic on one of the active interfaces
(accept protocol based Ethernet logging)
If an internal or external marker is set, the [Active] LED glows with full energy for a short time
7.2.2. STATE LED (rot)
state
meaning
off
No bug, device is working fine
on
Device in error state. If it is still reachable by the
client the error can be found in the bug reporter.
Rebooting required
short blinking
Overload oft he data logger, maybe loss of data.
Information about lost data can be found in the
bug reporter

7.3. 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 blue PiraT Mini and blue PiraT2 data logger to a combined TSL
system and synchronize these loggers.
Warning:
Don’t connect ETH #1 and ETH #2 directly to each other!
7.4. The USB port
The front USB port can only be used in the host-mode.
The port can be used for logging data to an external media or for connecting a 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*.
USB storage:
The USB storage has to be formatted in the FAT 16, FAT 32 or NTFS file format. You could connect
USB flash drives and external hard drive up to a maximal supply current of 500mA. External power
supplies must not be connected to the hard disk.
7.5. The SD card slot
The blue PiraT Mini offers the possibility to store data directly to a SD card. The configuration of this
feature is described in the Telemotive System Client manual.
The SD card must be formatted with FAT32 with a minimum size of 4 GB.

Attention:
Removing the SD card without prior shutdown may result in the loss of all recorded data!
If the SD card or USB disk is pulled in the operational state, the following problems exists:
a) The logger is in an undefined state and will not record any data.
Only after rebooting the device behaves as expected.
b) The data on the SD card can then be unreadable when the SD card is removed
during a write operation.
If you turn off the blue PiraT Mini with the trigger button, you have 5 seconds to remove the
disk before the logger can be reawakened.
7.6. ETH #3 and ETH #4
The network ports at the rear side, ETH #3 and ETH #4, can be used for logging data.
Warning:
Don’t connect ETH #3 and ETH #4 directly to each other!

MOST
7.9. MOST150 interface:
The MOST150 interface is a standard connector for MOST fiber optic.
Important:
Maybe the MOST150 connector can’t be plugged when the 15-pol SUB-D connector is not
locked before!
Important:
If the MOST connector is not used, the jack must be covered with a terminating plug. This
prevents the sensitive fiber optic contacts from getting dirty. It also makes sure that the data
logger does not start up unintentionally when e.g. strong sunlight falls onto the optical
contacts.

7.10.1. Resetting the network settings
If you have no access to the logger any more please follow the instructions of chapter *7.1 Function
of the ON / Trigger button* to reset the network settings.
Figure 7.2: blue PiraT Mini front panel
7.11. Resetting the logger to factory settings (from FW V02.00.01)
Beside the possibility to reset the network settings, the blue PiraT Mini offers the possibility to reset the
device to factory settings, if the logger is in error state and there’s no chance to connect to the logger
any more.
WARNING:
Due to this reset to factory settings all data and licenses on the logger will be deleted. Needed
licenses have to be saved to the logger again after this operation.
An actual firmware version has to be flashed after this procedure! This is signaled by the error
LED and an error “FC_FW_Update” at the client.
To reset the logger to factory settings the logger hast o be unplugged from power supply. Then press
the [ON / Trigger] button, plug the power supply and start the logger with pressed [ON / Trigger]
button.
The ACTIVE and STATE LEDs are pulsing for about 10 seconds.
If you do nothing, the logger tries to startup normally in case of the button was pressed by mistake.
But if the [ON / Trigger] button will be pressed fast multiple times in a row until the two LEDs are
blinking alternately, the device starts to reset itself to factory settings.
This operation will take some minutes and the blue PiraT Mini will switch off after that automatically.
The blue PiraT Mini is set back to delivery status and you should flash an actual firmware version first
to before you use the logger again.
