2.1 General Information
GL1000 The GL1000 is a data logger with USB interface which processes CAN messages
with either 11-bit or 29-bit identifiers and LIN messages. Furthermore, received
messages and analog values can be logged on an inserted SD card. The
configuration of the logger is done with the Vector Logger Configurator or the G.i.N.
GL1010
The GL1010 is equivalent to the GL1000 and differs only in the design of the housing
and the connections (watertight according to IP65). The SD card is located in the
housing and is no longer accessible from the outside. The opening for the speaker is
Note: Please note that the housing of the GL1010 must not be opened under any
circumstances, since otherwise the IP65 protection class of the data logger is no
longer guaranteed. The SD/SDHC card, the piggybacks, and the battery may only be
replaced by Vector Informatik GmbH. For more information, please contact the Vector

The loggers from serial number 5000 (GL1000) respectively 102000 (GL1010) are of
the newest hardware revision. Firmware versions 1.49 or higher are required for
operation (included in the Vector Logger Configurator version 2.5 SP5 or higher).
Configurations (COD files) generated with older versions have to be recompiled with
the newer Vector Logger Configurator. The recompiled configuration is compatible to

4. Insert the replacement piggyback. When doing this please make sure that the
single and dual-row connectors are not laterally shifted.
5. Place the GL1000 main board back in the housing verifying that it is inserted

millimeters from the end without forcing it in. Close the housing by applying light
pressure, and then secure it with the appropriate screw fasteners. The screws
should be secure but not excessively tight.

2. Create a new project (File|New Project). Select the project path and the device
GL1000.
3. Create a new source file (File|New File) and set the baud rate for CAN and the
timeout for sleep mode, e.g.
SYSTEM
Can1Timing = Timing500K
Can2Timing = Timing500K
SleepSeconds = 5
END
4. Save the file (File|Save File as) as LTL file in your project directory.
5. Compile this file via Project|Compile or press [F9]. A COD file is created.
6. Insert an empty SD card in the logger. The SD card is already included in the
