The company 

G.i.N. mbH was founded in 1991 and has been heavily involved 

with industrial networks from the very outset. 

Alongside development and production of data loggers and 

tools for automotive use, another main focus is the provision 

of engineering services for automotive projects. 

Our products 

The success of our products fulfi ls our customers requirement 

for ensuring that the networking of their high-effi ciency systems 

is as near as possible to fault free. 

Methodical use of G.i.N tools enables stochastically or randomly 

occurring malfunctions during communication, standby and wakeup 

to be tracked down. 

Our data loggers solve communication problems on CAN, LIN, 

MOST and FlexRay bus systems. 

A special feature is the LTL (Log Task Language) programming 

language, which enables simple, but also very complex confi gurations. 

Our services 

Within the scope of our services, we can realize bespoke projects 

and customizations (hardware, software and fi rmware) at any time.

G.i.N. offers a wide range of data loggers for any application: 

starting with a low cost and small data logger with two CAN 

bus interfaces up to multi-bus data loggers with the appropriate 

storage capacity.

The new data logger generation GL3000/GL4000 

G.i.N. has developed a new multi processor platform to 

support a parallel recording of several fast bus systems. 

The new data logger generation is able to record and 

handle synchronously the data of up to 8 CAN, 8 LIN 

and 2 FlexRay channels. 

In addition to the bus systems data numerous digital, analog 

and serial signals can be recorded and together with the bus 

data synchronously evaluated in real time within a few milliseconds 

after the wakeup. 

G.i.N. data loggers support the transfer of measuring data 

via Ethernet and WLAN or UMTS. New confi gurations 

can also be transferred in these ways to the test vehicles. 

This offers global position independence for fl eet trials 

and mobile endurance runs. 

The delivered management software offers automated 

data exchange between data logger and PC using modern 

safety standards.

The LINprobe can be used as an accessory for the G.i.N. 

data logger or as a gateway. 

It converts LIN messages received via the CAN bus so 

they can be logged. Several LINprobes can be connected 

to a single data logger. Each LINprobe can log two LIN 

channels. 

Features
