Kvaser Memorator makes it possible for you to log data from a CAN bus to a standard SD or MMC disk. Kvaser Memorator provides a dual channel CAN bus interface with a standard USB interface and is delivered with a SD disk. Support for High-Speed, Low-Speed and Single-Wire CAN through different product versions.
Kvaser Memorator has a USB connection and can be used as a powerful CAN to USB interface (like our USBcan II adapter) as well as a standalone CAN data logger - two products in one! As a data logger, it is for example perfect as a flight recorder due its compact design. A great advantage is that all configurations are made with a user-friendly configuration program and are stored on the flash disk. It makes it both easy and convenient to set configurations with the PC and download it to Kvaser Memorator for use in the field.
