New products enable central management of CAN signals and analog data

HIOKI  is pleased to announce the launch of the CAN Unit U8555 and Wireless CAN Unit LR8535 for use with the LR8450 series Memory HiLoggers. By allowing a single Memory HiLogger LR8450/LR8450-01 to record and display both CAN signals and analog measured data, the new products will help streamline development and evaluation of automobiles and other transportation equipment.

The U8555/LR8535 makes it possible for a single Memory Hi Logger to centrally manage both CAN signals from car-mounted sensors and analog measurement data such as voltage and temperature acquired during the development and evaluation process. The Memory HiLogger can convert CAN signals into analog waveforms in real time for display, simplifying the process of assessing changes and interrelatedness to streamline development and evaluation.

Using the CAN unit U8555, analog measurement data converted by the Memory HiLogger LR8450/LR8450-01 can be output as CAN signals. This capability makes it possible to manage all data as CAN signals, allowing integration into existing CAN systems and analysis with commercially available software (more info).
