5 The blue PiraT2 system
The blue PiraT2 /blue PiraT2 5E is a data logger for the following interfaces:
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 100 GB or higher, the blue PiraT2 is able to support extensive 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 Telemotive System Client is available.
For the available conversion options to various trace file formats please have a look at chapter
Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden. Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefun-
den werden.. The blue PiraT2 is available with different features (see chapter 5.2).
The blue PiraT2 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 PiraT2 provides online data processing
functions:
simple CAN- and MOST-filters
custom-defined messages can trigger the setting of markers

On the front side of the blue PiraT2 you will find the display and some control elements.
The blue PiraT2 is available with one 1-Gbit-Ethernet port on the front and also with four addi-
tional 100-Mbit-Ethernet ports, where an Ethernet switch is integrated. A mini switch is available
with 4 RJ45 connectors.
6.1 ON / Trigger button
The [ON / Trigger] button is used to switch on the blue PiraT2 if the data logger is connected to
the power and currently in sleep mode.
During operation, interesting points in time can be designated by the [ON / Trigger] button.
When pressing this button, the data logger saves the current time to hard drive. It is possible to
configure the data logger to send a CAN message as an acknowledgement of setting a marker.
Additionally, it is possible to define a message that triggers a marker. In all cases, triggers are
debounced, allowing only up to ten triggers in between every two seconds.
When downloading the data, the client displays all markers in an event overview. In this event
overview, the client can be configured to transfer the data around the selected markers.
6.1.1 Resetting the network settings
Important notice:
Due to a wrong network setting it might be impossible to reach the data logger any more.
In this case the network configuration can be resetted by a long press on the [ON / Trig-
ger] button for ca. 5 –10 sec. to default settings: DHCP server with IP:192.168.0.233.
Afterwards the data logger can be reached again by using a direct connection with a
PC/Laptop.
6.2 OFF / Esc button
If the blue PiraT2 is operating and you hold the [OFF / Esc]button for longer time, the data log-
ger will go into the standby mode.
If you only push the [OFF / Esc]button for short time you leave the current menu state.
6.3 Status LEDs
The blue PiraT2 has four LEDs on his front side: Active, Memory and Error to the right side from
the display and CFActive on the right side from the Compact Flash slot.

drives and external hard drive up to a maximal supply current of 500 mA at blue PiraT2 and 800
mA at blue PiraT2 5E. External power supplies are not needed.
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.
The usage is described in chapter 6.6.7 Memory .
6.5 Menu knob
For control the menu of the logger the [menu] knob is used. The [menu] knob has a rota-
ry/push controller function: rotate the button to the left equates to up and rotate it to the right
equates to down. Pushing the button equates the OK function.
