GL Loggers are automotive data loggers for use in test vehicles or on test benches. They record measurement values and acquire data communication of CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay and Ethernet bus systems.
In addition to bus communication, GL Loggers capture internal ECU parameters via CCP/XCP and diagnostics as well as analog and digital signals in a time synchronous manner.
Highlights
- Stand-alone tools for challenging logging tasks
- Very short start-up times
- Extensive filter and trigger conditions
- Support of diagnostics and CCP/XCP
- Compact data storage on SD cards or SSDs
- Quick data read-out
- Easy and fast configuration through free of charge Vector Logger Suite
- Offline analysis with the familiar Vector software tools CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape and vSignalyze
- Various cloud features, such as data upload and remote configuration of loggers
Main Application Areas
GL Loggers support application areas across automotive, commercial and transportation industries.

- Battery-buffered real-time clock for logging date and clock time
- Compact storage of logging data on quickly removable storage media
Cloud
vLoggerCloud is the easy-to-use infrastructure for all steps around data acquisition in vehicle testing. Starting with the creation of a measurement configuration and its distribution in the fleet, the loggers deliver measurement data over an external router to the Vector Cloud, where it can be managed, downloaded, converted and analyzed.
In the process, multiple Vector products interlock seamlessly:
- Vector Logger Suite (VLS): preparing the Loggers to connect to the cloud. Configuration of measurement tasks and assignment to test vehicles.
- GL Logger: recording bus communication in the vehicle and transferring the recorded data to the cloud via an external router.
- vLoggerControlRoom: provides real-time insights into your connected vehicle fleet.
- vMDM Client: management of data sets based on metadata; configuration of automatic conversion and download jobs.
- vSignalyzer/CANape: analysis of data up to data mining and report generation.
- vMDM pro: powerful service for managing measurement data and access rights, as well as for automated execution of data mining algorithms and generation of reports.
All components use the vLoggerCloud for data storage and as a link to communicate with each other. This also enables efficient collaboration of the responsible people from different offices.
vLoggerControlRoom
The vLoggerControlRoom provides real-time insights into your connected vehicle fleet. With its intuitive cloud interface, you can:
- View the position of all connected vehicles
- Monitor selected signals in real time
- Gain insights into your fleet and vehicles' health
- Use graphical signal visualization for rapid data interpretation
- Establish a starting point to fine-tune measurement configurations
Product Overview
GL1000 / GL1010
The GL1000 is the ideal device for logging the communication of a few CAN and LIN networks. It excels through a very compact and robust housing.
The GL1010 is the IP65 variant for the usage in rough surroundings.
GL2400 / GL2410
The GL2400 is the ideal solution for logging the communication of CAN, CAN FD and LIN networks. It is immediately ready to log from Standby mode, so the system start can be acquired. Wireless data transfer allows automated data upload and remote reconfiguration. In addition, its compact size simplifies the installation of the logger in any vehicle.
The GL2410 is the IP65 variant for use in rough surroundings on test drives.
GL3400
The GL3400 is the perfect solution for logging the communication of various CAN, CAN FD and LIN networks. Its powerful hardware supports you in demanding logging tasks. The logger is immediately ready for operation from standby mode, so the system start-up can also be acquired. The two independently configurable ring buffers provide a 2-in-1 solution, e. g. for long-term, or event-driven or conditioned logging, for example. Wireless data transfer enables automated data upload and remote reconfiguration.
GL5350 / GL5370
The GL5350 is the perfect solution for logging the communication of many CAN, CAN FD, LIN and FlexRay networks. Its powerful hardware supports you in demanding logging tasks. The Logger is immediately ready for operation from standby mode, enabling you to acquire the system start. The three independently configurable ring buffers provide a 3-in-1 solution for long-term, event-driven or conditioned logging, for example. Wireless data transfer enables automated data upload and remote reconfiguration.
The GL5370 offers more CAN channels and significantly more CAN FD channels with the same range of functions.
GL5450 Automotive Ethernet Extension
The GL5450 is an extension to the GL3400, GL5350 and GL5370 which enables logging of automotive Ethernet communication on separate SSDs. It offers a variety of interfaces for recording point-to-point communication and for introducing measurement points (TAPs) in automotive Ethernet networks.
Software Tools for the GL Loggers
Vector Logger Suite
The Vector Logger Suite is the main tool for GL Loggers.
It supports all tasks related to logger usage, from configuration and cloud connectivity to data read‑out and conversion of logged data.
The Vector Logger Suite is available free of charge and provides an easy‑to‑use graphical user interface.
Vector Logging Exporter
The Vector Logging Exporter is intended for users who focus on reading out and converting data.
It provides the same functionality in this area as the Vector Logger Suite.
Logger configuration and cloud access are not part of the Vector Logging Exporter.
The Vector Logging Exporter is also available free of charge.
