2.1 General Information
GL2000 The GL2000 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/SDHC card. The
configuration of the logger is done with the Vector Logger Configurator or the G.i.N.
GL2010
The GL2010 is equivalent to the GL2000 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 GL2010 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
