User Manual GL2000/GL2010 – Data Logger GL2000 – Data Logger

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.

configuration program. The installation is described in chapter 3.

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

eliminated.

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

Support.

Inserting and

removing SD card

The GL2000 has a push-and-pull card holder for inserting and removing the SD card.

To insert the memory card, push it in until the locking mechanism engages securely.

To remove the memory card, push it slightly into the card holder until it unlocks. Now,

release the memory card. The card moves from its original position and can now be

removed.

Do not pull the SD card from the card holder forcefully, since this could cause

mechanical damage!

User Manual GL2000/GL2010 – Data Logger GL2000 – Data Logger

GL2000 V2.0:

Remove SD card

with shutdown button

The GL2000 V2.0 has a shutdown button on the top cover. It interrupts an active

logging in order to remove or exchange the SD card. Therefore the logger must

contain the firmware V1.38 or higher (available from Vector Logger Configurator 2.5

SP4).

Make the following steps to deactivate the SD card:

1. Press the shutdown button for one second until the signal tone is heard.

2. Release the shutdown button for one second until the signal tone is heard.

3. Press the shutdown button for at least 2-3 seconds until the signal tone is heard

and the SD LED is lit.

When the correct sequence is detected a longer signal tone sounds (step 3 above)

and the GL2000 V2.0 is shut down. The USB LED and the SD LED light up for 15

seconds. During this time the SD/SDHC card is disconnected from the system and

can be removed.

Do not pull the SD card forcefully from the card holder, because this may damage the

mechanics!

After 15 seconds elapse, the logger changes to sleep mode. When a wake event

such as bus activity occurs, the logger wakes up again and continues logging.

GL2000 V2.0:

Remove SD card

with ML Server

connection

Observe the following when deactivating the SD card via the shutdown button in

conjunction with a data transmission to the ML Server:

> The establishment of a connection to the ML Server using the Stop logging

during transmission setting (LTL: ConnectionRequest) is executed to

completion beforehand.

If a new configuration is transferred from the ML Server, the SD card is

deactivated for 15 seconds after the end of the transmission. The logger then

changes to sleep mode and is only re-configured at a restart.

If the establishment of the connection fails or the connection is terminated, the SD

card is deactivated only after the end of the connection timeout.

The shutdown button is deactivated during an active connection because the

logger has already introduced a shutdown.

> The establishment of a connection to the ML Server Continue logging during

transmission (LTL: TransferRequest) is terminated. After a restart an attempt is

made to establish the connection.

User Manual GL2000/GL2010 – Data Logger GL2000 – Data Logger

GL2000 V1.0:

Remove SD card

with event buttons

The GL2000 V1.0 has no shutdown button on the top cover. Instead you can use the

two buttons on the delivered switch box E2T2L to interrupt an active logging in order

to remove or exchange the SD card.

Therefore the logger must contain the firmware V1.40 or higher (available from Vector

Logger Configurator 2.6 SP3).

Make the following step to deactivate the SD card:

> Press the two buttons on the switch box E2T2L simultaneously for five seconds.

After each second a signal tone is heard.

Afterwards the GL2000 V1.0 is shut down and LED1 to LED4 are off. The USB LED

lights up for 15 seconds. During this time the SD/SDHC card is disconnected from the

system and can be removed.

Do not pull the SD card forcefully from the card holder, because this may damage the

mechanics!

After 15 seconds elapse, the logger changes to sleep mode. When a wake event

such as bus activity occurs, the logger wakes up again and continues logging.

GL2010: SD card

The SD card is already contained in the housing of the GL2010 and cannot be

removed or replaced.

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 may only be replaced by Vector Informatik

GmbH. For more information, please contact the Vector Support.

Data transfer

The logged data can be downloaded with a configuration program from the SD/SDHC

card in the GL2000

/GL2010 or in a card reader. Alternatively logging files can be

copied to the PC via the Windows Explorer. On the PC the logging files can be

converted.

2.2.3 Serial Number

Serial number The serial number is stored in the logger and is copied to the SD card after download

of the configuration and start in logging mode.

The configuration program reads out the serial number of the logger in the

configuration mode. The serial number is displayed correctly, if an SD card is inserted

and the logger was at least one time in the logging mode with this SD card. If this SD

card is inserted in another logger and the logger is not started in logging mode

afterwards, the serial number of the first logger will be displayed in the configuration

program.

It is possible to average the measured analog inputs over a defined sampling period

between 1 kHz and 1 Hz. E.g. for a 1 Hz sampling frequency, the measured values

are averaged over the last second. The internal sampling rate is 1 kHz for each

channel.

2.2.7 Serial Interface

RS232 The serial interface with the Rx and Tx lines is logging interfaces only. The baudrate

of the interfaces can be configured. Received data can be stored on the SD card as

CAN messages.

Info: The serial interface cannot be used to download a configuration or upload

logging data.

2.2.8 Real Time Clock with Battery

Real time clock

The GL2000/GL2010 has an internal real time clock, which is battery supplied, and

thus continues running even if the logger is disconnected from power supply. The real

time clock inside the logger is required to store the date and time together with the

logged data.

The configuration of the clock is done with the configuration program (SD card must

be inserted). After setting the real time clock the logger is switched off.

It is recommended to set the real time clock before first logging.

Battery The internal battery supplies the real time clock only. The battery has a typical

durability of approximately 5-10 years under the following conditions:

T = +40°C to +80°C for at most 40 hours per week

T = -40°C to +40°C in the rest of the time

User Manual GL2000/GL2010 – Data Logger GL2000 – Data Logger

GL2010: Battery 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 battery may only be replaced by Vector Informatik GmbH. For

more information, please contact the Vector Support.

GL2000:

Replacing battery

The battery of the GL2000 can be is exchanged after life cycle end.

Notes:

> First read the installation instruction completely.

> The case has to be opened to exchange the piggybacks.

> This must be done very cautiously and carefully.

The battery is exchanged as follows:

1. First remove the two black decorative caps and the screws from the bottom cover

of the GL2000. The bottom cover contains the two DSUB connectors.

2. Then, remove the two black decorative caps and the screws from the top cover.

Among other things, the top cover contains the USB connector.

3. Carefully remove the bottom cover together with the main board and the top

cover completely from the housing.

Note: The circuit board is connected to the AUX connection of the top cover via a

cable. Therefore the top cover must be inserted together with the circuit board

from the top to the bottom of the housing. Please make sure not to damage the

cable.

4. You will find mounting location almost at the center of the main circuit board (see

green circle in Figure 3).

5. Remove the battery carefully from the mounting location.

6. Insert the replacement battery. Look out for the correct polarity, + must be on top.

Please handle the contact spring with care. Do not bend it too much and make

sure the spring has contact to the new battery after replacement.

7. Reassemble the unit in reverse order. First insert the top cover into the housing

via the opening at the bottom. Insert the circuit board into the housing afterwards

and make sure that the circuit board has been inserted into the correct guide rail

(groove 1). Please be sure that the frame around the LEDs do not snag on the

housing.

8. 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 the covers with the appropriate screw fasteners. The

screws should be secure but not excessively tight.

9. Please also attach the black decorative caps.

Dispose of the removed battery according to the applicable laws (e.g. the Battery Law

in Germany).
