The two GND pins on the main plug and the GND pin on the analog plug are connected to one another internally. In case of increased current consumption and/or a small cable diameter, it is recommended connecting both pins.

For CAN (see chapter 2.3.1), the CANx High and CANx Low pins are connected. For the galvanically decoupled piggybacks, the CANx GND and CANx Vbatt pins must also be connected.

Caution: It is recommended to connect the logger to the same voltage supply (e.g.

battery of the vehicle) as the vehicle or test equipment, respectively.

If two different voltage supplies are used for the logger and the test equipment, the

For FlexRay (see chapter 2.3.4), the FlexRay1+/FlexRay1- and FlexRay2+/FlexRay2- pins are connected.

For analog inputs 1 - 4, the AnaInx pins are connected.

Analog inputs 5 and 6 are hard-wired internally and connected to BattSense and KL15/Wake respectively. They are therefore not accessible through a plug.

For the serial interfaces (see chapter 2.4.10), the UARTx Tx and UARTx Rx pins are connected. The UART2 Tx/Rx pins are connected internally with the UART2 Tx/Rx pins of the analog plug.

The logger is woken up by a positive edge on this pin. KL15/Ignition, for example, can be connected for this purpose.

If the cables to the logger are long, the voltage drops off on the Term. 30 line and the GND line due to the operating current. As a result, a minimally lower voltage than the actual wiring system voltage is measured with AnaIn5. To prevent this, the BattSense and GNDSense pins can be connected close to the wiring system voltage. AnaIn5 then measures the voltage at these pins.

Reverse-polarity protection

For the voltage supply via Battery (Pins 37/38) and GND (Pins 4/5) a complete reverse-polarity protection is available that in parallel also suppresses negative peaks from the main power supply. A protection against positive peaks is also available. Dependent on the temperature peaks from 35.88 V up to 42.12 V can be absorbed.

Externally connected devices can be supplied with 5 V through this pin. The voltage supply at this pin is switched off with a switch if the logger is in sleep mode or standby mode. This output can supply currents up to 1A.

This pin outputs the voltage active at pin Battery (VCC) and is protected with 2A.

For the serial interface (see chapter 2.4.10), the UART2 Tx and UART2 Rx pins are connected. These pins are connected internally with the UART2 Tx/Rx pins of the main plug.

These pins support an access to the logger to set the real time clock (see chapter 3.2.4).

The digital outputs (see chapter 2.4.5) are connected via the DigOutx and DigGND pins.

The two DigGND pins are the common ground of the digital outputs and connected to one another internally. They are used to divert possible high currents that could flow in on digital output DigOutx. They are bridged internally with GND via a fuse.

It is recommended connecting a good ground if digital outputs are used with high currents.

For currents higher than 1 A, the ground DigGND (preferably both pins 23 and 24) must be connected to the vehicle ground (GND at main plug).

This pin outputs the voltage of Battery via a 1 A electrical fuse if the logger is switched on.

This output is used for the operation of small accessory devices which have no own sleep mode and are supposed to operate when the logger is awake.

The ground of such device must be connected to the vehicle ground (GND at main plug).

The loggers support a monitoring interface that allows the use of loggers as bus interface for monitoring in CANoe/CANalyzer (since version 7.6 SP3).

The logger is connected via Ethernet to the CANoe/CANalyzer PC and sends after measurement start the bus data to CANoe/CANalyzer, where the data can be analyzed in the measurement setup. Sending messages with CANoe/CANalyzer is not possible. The relevant CANoe/CANalyzer licenses must be provided by a connected hardware interface on the PC or by a license dongle.

Now proceed as follows:

1. Screw off the back cover (with the main plug) of the logger. First remove the black decorative caps and then unscrew the crosshead screws.

2. Carefully remove the back cover with the board from the housing until the piggybacks are accessible. It is sufficient to pull out the board halfway.

Note that the USB cable of the GL3200 and GL4200 may under no circumstances be folded or pulled!

3. Looking from the main plug, the four slots are located at the edge of the board in the order of CAN1 - CAN4. The locations are marked red in Figure 1.

4. Remove the piggyback carefully from the mounting location.

5. Insert the new piggyback. As the piggybacks are structured asymmetrically, it is not possible to use them in a turned position. If some slots are not occupied, you must ensure that each piggyback is inserted exactly in its intended slot on the (4 x 4 =) 16-pin measuring connection strip. Galvanically isolated piggybacks contain four further pins.

6. Reassemble the unit in the reverse order. Place the main board back in the housing and ensure that the board has been inserted into the correct guide rail (piggybacks: groove 6, main board: groove 1).

Note the ribbon cable of the membrane keypad here (not in the case of GL3000)

7. It should be possible to slide the main board in the housing up to a few 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.

Caution: When performing this operation be sure not to touch the top or bottom of

the boards (logger main board or piggybacks).

2.4 Functions

2.4.1 Manual Switch On and Off the Logger

Manual switch off The logger is shut down and switched off by opening the front access panel. After

opening the front access panel the display shows first Stop Rec (end of recording). After that the display shows Save XX% while saving the logging data from RAM to memory media. When this procedure is finished, Shutdown is displayed while the logger shuts down. During all the steps a running light from right to left is displayed by the LEDs. If the running light and the display are off, the logger is shut down completely.

The CF card can be removed after the LED color in the card slot changes from red to green or the LED is off.

Depending on the configuration, bus activity after the shutdown can wake up the

Compact Flash cards The GL3000, GL3100 and GL4000 support Compact Flash cards. It is recommended

to use Compact Flash cards with industrial grade:

> Xmore industrial 8 GB (XM-CF-8G0-XIE52D(F), XM-CF-8G0-XIE53D(F))

> Xmore industrial 16 GB (XM-CF-16G-XIE52D(F), XM-CF-16G-XIE53D(F))

> Xmore industrial 32 GB (XM-CF-32G-XIE53D(F))

Currently Compact Flash cards higher than 32 GB with industrial grade are not available. The logger already supports CF cards with higher capacity. The capacity is not limited.

Removing Compact Flash card

The card holder is located behind the front flap. Unlock and open the flap. When the logger is switched on, the Compact Flash card must not be removed until the LEDs in the card slot are green or off. Now press the button next to the slot. The Compact Flash card is ejected from its slot and can be removed.

If the LEDs are red or red/green, the card must not be removed!

Automatic detection The logger automatically detects if a CF card is inserted into the logger or if an

external USB memory medium is connected. On start the logger searches for a memory medium in the following order:

1. CF card

2. USB memory medium

As soon as a memory medium is found it is scanned for a new configuration. If a configuration is found that is newer than the configuration on the logger an update will be performed. Afterwards data will be logged on this memory medium.

If for example a CF card is inserted and at the same time an USB flash drive is connected only the CF card will be used and the USB flash drive will be ignored. To

According to the logger type, a CF card or removable SSD must be available or a

USB memory medium must be connected. If a memory medium is missed some beeps can be heard and loggers with integrated display show No Card. Afterwards
