None, odd, even
Table 9.3: Serial interface
The BLUEPIRAT2 supports only the RS232 specification.
9.3.1 Segmentation of the serial data
The received serial data are clustered into data blocks separately for each channel. Each block
is finalized after a certain time or when it reaches a certain maximum size. The time is 30 to 60
ms depending on the channel. The maximum size is 49 to 80 bytes. A time stamp is assigned to
each block when it is finalized.
9.3.2 RS232 transceiver
The threshold voltages for data reception are the usual RS232-defined
values. A logical “1” is
recognized for input voltages smaller 0 Volts, a logical “0” for input voltages higher than 3 Volts.
9.4
FlexRay
The BLUEPIRAT2 is able to record FlexRay bus data according to the FlexRay specification
2.1A. The data logger records all valid and invalid, static and dynamic frames of the two
FlexRay channels, including “a” and “b”, independently if the FlexRay bus is in a synchronous or
asynchronous state.
Channels
2x (a + b)
Max. bit rate
10 Mbit/s
Frames
Static, Dynamic, Null Sync, Startup
Transceiver
