Description

Development and testing of cutting-edge vision-based Autonomous Driving and ADAS systems require lots of real tests in different driving situations encountered under different road conditions. These time-consuming, hard to repeat, costly, and due to the limited number of executed test scenarios unreliable road tests, can be largely substituted with Xylon’s logiRECORDER Automotive HIL Video Logger. This all-in-one data logger enables non-intrusive and low latency recording of raw multi-channel video and network data, data analysis, and synchronous playback of the logged data in realistic Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulations that replicate test-vehicle’s multi-camera video system and in-vehicle data busses on developer’s desk.

The logiRECORDER 3.5 is the latest upgrade of the popular third-generation logiRECORDER Automotive HIL Video Logger, which is aimed at performance- and cost-optimized automotive developments. It provides three slots for add-on Ethernet modules that increase networking capacity for additional 12 logging and HIL Ethernet channels. The logiRECORDER 3.5 also supports 10 GbE data logging and TAP, as well as USB 3.2 interfacing.
