Hover the i for quick details
CL1000: CAN
logger/interfaceCompact. Simple. Low cost
i
What is it? The lowest cost CAN logger on the
market. Log raw CAN data to the 8GB SD (standalone mode) - or, stream in real-time to your PC via
USB
Is it a good fit? It's extremely low cost and useful for streaming CAN data via USB to a PC. However, if you aim to log data in standalone mode, we strongly recommend a device with a real-time clock like the CL2000 or CANedge, to ensure that your data is date & timestamped

169 EUR
CL2000: CAN
logger/interfaceIncl. real-time clock
i
What is it? The CL2000 adds a real-time clock.
This means every CAN frame is "timestamped" with date and time (1 ms resolution)
Is it a good fit? The CL2000 is ideal if you need a CAN interface for streaming and a CAN data logger in one product. If you do not need to stream data via USB, however, we strongly recommend the CANedge1 or CANedge2 instead.

CANedge1: 2xCAN/LIN loggerPro specs & interoperable
i
What is it? The CANedge1 is the '2nd generation'
of the CL2000. It is extremely simple-to-use - yet offers specs & features that match far more expensive pro
loggers on the market
Is it a good fit? The CANedge1 is ideal for logging CAN data (incl. e.g. J1939/OBD2) for extended periods - and extracting it via the SD card periodically. Because of the powerful specs, configurability and software/API tools, it is far superior to the CL2000 for SD card logging. For frequent/remote data collection (e.g. for telematics) see the CANedge2.

CANedge2: 2xCAN/LIN
loggerIncl. WiFi transfer & OTA
i
What is it? The CANedge2 is our '2nd generation'
WiFi CAN logger. It combines pro CAN logging with modern telematics. Simply configure the CANedge2 to connect to
1-4 WiFi access points (e.g. a WLAN router or 3G/4G/5G hotspot) to auto-push data securely via HTTPS to your
server/cloud. Data can be easily processed with open
source software & APIs
Is it a good fit? The CANedge2 is the best solution for logging CAN bus data & collecting it remotely. With over-the-air firmware/configuration updates and a strong focus on security, it's perfect for e.g. vehicle/machine fleet telematics or OEM field testing.

Below is our 'rule of thumb' guidance:
- CL1000: If you only need to stream data via USB (or log data without absolute date & time stamping)
- CL2000: If you need to both stream data via USB and log timestamped data to an SD card
- CANedge1: If you only need to log timestamped data to an SD card
- CANedge2: If you need to log data to an SD card and transfer it via a WiFi/3G/4G access point to your own server
Overall, the CANedge (and related software) is far superior for SD card logging - and we strongly recommend this series, unless you explicitly require USB streaming. If you need to collect data frequently/automatically/remotely, see the CANedge2.

i
All loggers except the CL1000 have a real-time clock for timestamping each
data frame with the absolute date & time. The CANedge timestamp resolution is 20x higher than the
CLX000, which is relevant as the CANedge is able to log a far higher number of frames per second.

The CLX000 is able to log up to around 800-1000 frames without message-loss.
The CANedge is designed for lossless logging at any busload and has been used in various use cases to
record 4000+ frames/second (2000+ per channel). In practice, most CAN bus applications broadcast between
500-1500 frames/second.

Misc adapters & accessories
DB9-DB9/DCSplit CAN & power
i
What is it? This adapter splits the standard DB9
connector into a DB9 connector with just the CAN H/L wires and a DC female connector (5.5 mm ID x 2.1 mm CPD)
for providing the input power supply for your CAN logger
Is it a good fit? If you need to power your CAN logger via an external power source, this is a convenient starting point. It's particularly useful if you want to do e.g. desktop logging, providing input power via a wall connector power outlet

Cigarette-DCProvide DC power
i
What is it? This is a standard low cost DC to
cigarette outlet adapter. It fits the female DC adapters and provides a 12V output when used in standard
cars
Is it a good fit? In most use cases, a CAN logger is simply powered via the CAN bus connector directly (e.g. via OBD2/J1939 adapter cables). However, when e.g. using the CANCrocodile as the data parser, you'll need a separate power source. Here, the cigarette outlet is a very convenient source, in particular for temporary/pilot installations

DB9-DB9/DB9Split your CAN bus
i
What is it? This is a DB9-DB9/DB9 aka DB9
Y-splitter cable, allowing you to separate a CAN bus connection in two
Is it a good fit? It's often useful to be able to connect multiple devices to a single CAN bus port - e.g. for logging via multiple devices, keeping the port open while logging - or transmitting data to the CAN bus from a separate device

DB9-DB9
(3M)Extend your bus
i
What is it? This is a DB9 female to DB9 male 3
meter extension cable (non-terminated)
Is it a good fit? In many cases it's convenient to have the option to add some extra distance to your logging setup - in particular for development or when you need to log from hard-to-reach places. Rather than moving back-and-forth a lot, you can directly connect/disconnect your CAN logger e.g. on your desk

Terminal resistorCAN 120 ohm
i
What is it? This is a 120 ohm termination adapter
for use in CAN bus systems
Is it a good fit? Practically all high speed CAN bus systems need to be terminated properly. For most vehicles, this is already implemented - but in more e.g. test or prototype systems it may not be included. Here, the termination adapter is a low cost solution

Gender
changersSwitch genders
i
What is it? This is a DB9 gender changer pack
(Male/Male + Female/Female)
Is it a good fit? Often you'll encounter that devices differ in their connector genders, which may imply that you need a gender changer to complete your CAN bus node network

Industrial SD cardExtra 8-32 GB
i
What is it? The CANedge comes with an SD card
included - but if you want backups, we strongly recommend getting it from us. The CANedge does not support 3rd
party SD cards, so to ensure logging performance & power safety, you can order your backup SD cards here.
30-60 EUR
Types: 8 GB, 32 GB
4 x thermocouplesType K
i
What is it? The CANmod.temp supports up to 4
thermocouple probe inputs of any type. If you do not wish to source your probes separately, we offer a set of 4
type K probes from PEAKTECH for -50 degC to 250 degC temperature measurement.
