CAN bus data loggers
Ideal for USB streaming
Is it a good fit? It's extremely low cost and useful for streaming CAN data via USB to a PC. However, if you aim to log data in standalone mode, we strongly recommend a device with a real-time clock like the CL2000 or CANedge, to ensure that your data is date & timestamped
170 EUR
Incl. real-time clock
Is it a good fit? The CL2000 is ideal if you need a CAN interface for streaming and a CAN data logger in one product. If you do not need to stream data via USB, however, we strongly recommend the CANedge instead.
230 EUR
Pro specs & interoperable
Is it a good fit? The CANedge1 is ideal for logging CAN data (incl. e.g. J1939/OBD2) for extended periods - and extracting it via the SD card periodically. Because of the powerful specs, configurability and software/API tools, it is far superior to the CL2000 for SD card logging. For frequent/remote data collection (e.g. for telematics) see the CANedge2/CANedge3.
330 EUR
Incl. GPS/IMU
Is it a good fit? The CANedge1 with GNSS/IMU is ideal if you wish to enhance your 2 x CAN/LIN data with time-synced GNSS/IMU data - e.g. for automotive 'blackbox' use cases. It is also useful in ensuring perfect RTC time synchronization as the CANedge can use the GNSS timestamp to sync the RTC continuously.
430 EUR
Incl. WiFi
Is it a good fit? The CANedge2 is ideal for logging CAN bus data and collecting it remotely via WiFi. With over-the-air firmware/configuration updates and a strong focus on security, it's perfect for e.g. warehouse/mining telematics, stationary asset monitoring and other use cases where an existing WiFi network is available. For direct 3G/4G transfer, see the CANedge3.
480 EUR
Incl. WiFi + GPS/IMU
Is it a good fit? The CANedge2 with GNSS/IMU is ideal if you wish to enhance your 2 x CAN/LIN data with time-synced GNSS/IMU data. This can be ideal for e.g. automotive telematics use cases.

If you're in doubt which CAN logger to choose, contact us - we always respond fast with quality sparring.
Below is our 'rule of thumb' guidance:
- CL1000: If you only need to stream data via USB (or log data without absolute date & time stamping)
- CL2000: If you need to both stream data via USB and log timestamped data to an SD card
- CANedge1: If you only need to log timestamped data to an SD card
- CANedge2: If you need to log data to an SD card and transfer it via a WiFi access point to your own server
- CANedge3: If you need to log data to an SD card and transfer it via 3G/4G LTE to your own server
Overall, the CANedge (and related software) is far superior for SD logging - and we strongly recommend this, unless you explicitly require USB streaming. If you need to collect data frequently/automatically/remotely, see the CANedge2/CANedge3.
