3Product description
The XORAYA dataloggers are processor-controlled storage units, designed to
record data from several and different data sources simultaneously. These
dataloggers are indeed unique in the automotive industry thanks to their
central 100-ns timestamp on all interfaces. Furthermore, its modular design
allows for a rapid and flexible adjustment to future demands. This is
stressed by the fact that all product phases, i.e. from design and
development to programming and production, are completed in-house.
The dataloggers can be equipped with many different interfaces:
Lowspeed-CAN, Highspeed-CAN and CAN-FD
FlexRay
LIN
RS-232
PSI5
Analog
BroadR-Reach
MOST25 and MOST150
Ethernet 100Base-T and 1000Base-T
GNLog and DLT via Ethernet and RS-232
CCP and XCP
GPS
The XORAYA Z7, based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC, is the
new generation of the compact and inexpensive XORAYA datalogger. The
built-in supercapacitor unit is able to bridge power fluctuations and to shut
the XORAYA Z7 down safely in case of power failures.
Data can be directly saved to the storage medium (internally or externally)
or to a computer system via Ethernet interface. Both modes can also be
operated in parallel.
Operation can be managed via the graphical user interface XORAYASuite,
whereby the XORAYA Z7 can be configured, and data recorded and
downloaded from the XORAYA Z7. Moreover, you can evaluate the recorded
data and export them to many popular formats.
