The plug & play CL2000 CAN bus logger records CAN bus data to an 8 GB SD card and timestamps it with a real-time clock.
Further, the CSS Electronics CL2000 can operate as a CAN bus interface for real-time USB streaming.
The CAN logger is ideal for vehicle fleet management (trucks, buses, harvesters, cars, ...), prototype field testing, diagnostics or reverse engineering.
